Hi bruce:
explain me this, please: except extreme cases of a very unequal position, what
sense has to evaluate something that will not be anymore once a move is done?
seems to me like walking looking behind you how pretty has been the road and an
abyss is waiting your next step. Of course there extensions, etc, but then,
again, what purpose serve the static evaluation If the real thing comes from the
future?
