Edit:sorry for double post in forum. It was unwanted.

why would an engine use such a method. It woudl huge simplificatio on how thet choose move. On humans I doubt that there can be a "method" in sense rigorous way to choose a move. Computer can use rigorous method becaus
- it can make the evaluation formula far more complicated than human ever can.
- it can analyze the situatin so deep that it compensated what ever short coming the evaluation method has
These things are like snake oil in the old wild west...as a player of 27 years standing I can confirm there is no 'easy' way to play chess...you have to think...I know its annoying isnt it?
What is this? Tsvetkov's "The Secret of Chess" has another incarnation?
UPD Looks like the guy is trying to create his own evaluation function, like one the chess engines use. From scientific point of view, might be interesting, may also be interesting to analyze games after the fact, but using something like this to actually search for a move in a game? Naaah.
Nope this older that Tsvetkov's book. That one is based on computer evaluation function by a programmer. weird and useless. this one in "scienfistic" analysis by a chess player not by a programer. Probably equally weird. not willing invest 20-30 Euros to find out that is is weird
Silman's method, Heisman's method, Hertan's method, Kotov's method...
and all the others.
None is the best, all are good.
