I feel that instead of trying to create and use your own thought process, you should follow famous and existing ones that were created by masters. The reason that they are famous is because they work. You might be a good player, but I don't think you are good enough to create a thought process that is efficient, not too complicated, and time-efficient. How about trying Silman's thought process, it is great. Go through the book "How to Reassess your Chess" and you will get a great understanding of the game. His thought process is a way better version of Super and Turbo eval. After reading and following what he says, you would outplay the bot rather than win because of luck. Both of us can agree to the fact that no 2600 FIDE/Chess.com/Lichess-rated player/bot would just blunder something like it just did in your game. Even 1000 rated lichess players would recapture the queen. See, I'm not trying to criticize you or find the faults in things you do, I am just suggesting something. It's up to you how you are going to take it. Nevertheless good blog

Thank you for your thoughts. I started posting these blogs mainly to get better at chess. Considering I got to 2000 using mostly intuition, trying to start with a thought process has always been very difficult for me. This quest against the computers using different thought processes has (i hope) allowed me to become better about using one. The main attraction for using a thought process that I created is that it can be tailored to me, but as you said, there are famous thought processes out there that are famous because they are proven to improve players. It is unfortunate that I feel some attachment to the Turbo Eval that I have been using, despite it's not truly getting me where I want to be. Anyways, I will certainly think about this, and I will update within the next blog or two.

Again, thanks for the honest thoughts!
