Subject: Re: What is "static evaluation" ?

Go up one level in this thread


Static evaluation means doing some sort of calculation without moving pieces
around.

For example, you can calculate how many doubled pawns each side has without
moving any pieces, so that's some static evaluation.

Usually programs have a whole mess of terms like that in a function called the
evaluation function, which basically guesses which side is winning and by how
much.
