How some common material imbalances affect your win-rate
This thread makes me want to build a simple chess-practice tool that works like this:
1) Get a big database of positions<p>2) Use StockFish to evaluate all the positions<p>3) Pick a position at random, show it to the user, and ask for their evaluation<p>4) User gets a score based on the difference b/t their eval and StockFish's.<p>The idea being that this could allow you to rapidly hone your position-evaluation skill. That might be a faster way to improve at chess than just grinding through many games.
