 Positional Evaluation Resources

Chess evaluation is a critical process that involves analyzing the various aspects of a given chess position to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each player. This involves assessing the material balance, pawn structure, piece mobility, king safety, and other relevant factors to determine which player has the advantage and by how much. The primary objective of chess evaluation is to provide players with the necessary information to make informed decisions about their next moves and overall strategy.
