Against Stockfish: Game #11: I did it!

How is this approach any different from the kind recommended by IM Silman ("How to Reassess Your Chess") or the approach taken by chess masters? Every commentated chess match emphasizes doing your "Super Eval" reinvention to understand the position instead of using the engine alone. Why do you think you are not reinventing the wheel here?
First, this is not the only approach I have taken. I have tried many different methods of thinking to see which works the best. This is just one of them. Second, even though the chess masters do use a similar method, they are not always going to be in the same order of thought. As someone who has been there, I can guarantee you that the mind of a master is very messy. My goal is to find a fixed, stable algorithm-like structure that would work for any given chess position without any change of order. An algorithm that would enable a beginner to become a master in a very short amount of time by only mastering a few pre-specified criteria. A steady train of thought. This article is just one step towards it.

Thank you for clarifying that. It still sounds like a simplified version of the "Reassess your Chess" style of evaluation, but I suppose there's some utility to the simplification. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next!
