In math, every chess pieces has it own value ; example rook equal to 5 point, pawn =one point and etc, but the distinctive value of these pieces were depend on the certain position on the board. The understanding of the pieces value is so important as it will broaden up your vision to outplay your opponent. How to improve our evaluation of the position on the board?

A good player of chess would know which position is better only at a glance and no need to do deeper evaluation of the position. They know from the look only. You should try by yourself to simulate every early middle game and make your own assumption of who's position is better; black or white. From the evaluation of the position ; you should trace which pieces is strong , which is bad, the hole , strong square,weak square and so forth. Train yourself to evaluate into details of position' characteristic as much as you can until you can have a picture of winning position that you want in your game.

Don't we know if repetition occur in one's move, the value of the position doesn't same again? why did it happen? Of course it is because of 'time' factor. My intention to bring out time factor is , you need to be brave to manipulate all the opportunity in order to make the best move. I would say that you keep maintain your tempo and complicate the position to bring advantage on time to your game. This is crucial when we are already at 3/4 of the battle.

Last is pawn structure; how well it effect the whole value of the position. Don't move your pawn unnecessarily as it can't be mend again. Make sure the movement of the pawn synchronize with your major pieces.

That is why in my previous article , i urged all of you do not neglect study on position understanding. There are a lot book about it. As a conclusion, with better understanding of the position, you will always have the position that you like on board.
