Developing Your Pieces Quickly!
Written by John Knightly
In the game of chess it is of extreme importance to move as many of your pieces to successful spots on the board as fast as possible. This goes for all pieces, including pawns. These spots on the board should allow you to attack or defend that position; safeguard that specific square on the board and give you control of the center. The reason it is stressed that this is done as quickly as possible is because losing tempo or a good move can cost you serious time, space on the board, mobility or the game.

are there already programs/projects to calculate a rating by looking at the moves of a particular game ? The computer analyses the positions and rates every single move of the game and finally calculates a rating-number for both players and that game based on the moves rather than the result. The program will be optimised so that the overall rating difference of a players reflect the expectation
