+# Evaluation strategy (GPT-powered)
+
+## Material Balance:
+
+Rationale: Assessing material balance provides insights into the relative strength of positions, impacting strategic and tactical decisions.
+Delegation/Simplification: While search influences trading decisions, establishing basic piece values is essential.
+Relation to Others: Orthogonal. Primarily focuses on overall material balance.
+Value MGE: Around 350 centipawns (dynamic piece value assessment).
+Value EGE: Around 500 centipawns (adjusted values for simplified endgames).
+
+## Pawn Structure:
+
+Rationale: Analyzing pawn structure impacts pawn mobility, endgame potential, and positional weaknesses.
+Delegation/Simplification: Search evaluates pawn structure's tactical impact; foundational pawn structure analysis remains vital.
+Relation to Others: Generally orthogonal. Related to pawn mobility.
+Value MGE: Around 10 centipawns for each additional pawn island (active play).
+Value EGE: Around 15 centipawns for each additional pawn island (endgame control and passed pawn potential).
+
+## Piece Activity (Mobility):
+
+Rationale: Evaluating piece mobility assesses the ability of pieces to influence the board, considering the number of squares they can reach.
+Delegation/Simplification: Search dynamically evaluates piece mobility during tactical analysis.
+Relation to Others: Orthogonal. Mobility focuses on piece mobility itself, differentiating from other components.
+Value MGE: Around 5 centipawns for each additional square a piece can reach (tactical opportunities).
+Value EGE: Around 3 centipawns for each additional square a piece can reach (centralization and control).
+
+## King Safety:
+
+Rationale: Assessing king safety is crucial for identifying threats and ensuring the king's protection.
+Delegation/Simplification: Search identifies tactical threats; assessing pawn shield strength enhances king safety.
+Relation to Others: Generally orthogonal. King safety interacts with open lines.
+Value MGE: Around 15 centipawns for each pawn defending squares near the king (tactical threats).
+Value EGE: Around 20 centipawns for each pawn defending squares near the king (centralization and safety).
+
+## Pawn Promotion Threats:
+
+Rationale: Evaluating pawn promotion threats considers passed pawn potential and tactical opportunities.
+Delegation/Simplification: Search assesses pawn promotion during move selection; potential passed pawns remain crucial.
+Relation to Others: Orthogonal. Primarily tied to pawn structure and pawn mobility.
+Value MGE: Around 5 centipawns for each pawn with potential for promotion (dynamic threats).
+Value EGE: Around 8 centipawns for each pawn with potential for promotion (passed pawn creation).
