Elements
In his book Elements of Positional Evaluation [3], Dan Heisman represents an attempt at mathematical abstraction applied to chess, introducing seven concepts as fundamental in analyzing a chess position: mobility, flexibility, vulnerability, center control, piece coordination, time and speed. Heisman applies two dichotomies: actual versus potential and local versus global [4] .
| local | global | |
|---|---|---|
| actual | Single moves from this position |
All reachable squares from this position |
| potential | Single moves on an empty board |
All reachable squares on an empty board |
