The reason you have a static evaluation is that you can't search indefinitely. Eventually you have to say to yourself, I can't search this anymore, I need to count the material and look at the pawn structure and try to guess at what is going to happen, and I have almost no computational resources available to help me do this. Maybe you can delay this via extensions or other techniques, but eventually you have to stop. bruce
