I like it because it allows you to focus on the key moment/s when the games shifts from won to lost and vice versa. then I try to analyze it from both sides of the board to try and identify the key elements of the position that are present that allowed such reverses of fortune. I try to absorb both from a more logical/objective POV to a more subjective/emotional POV aspect to then see if I can learn from this heuristics/ideas/plans that I can then apply to my own battles.

I think that, perhaps somewhat counterintuitively since we're talking about engine evaluations, the evaluation bar is best used in evaluating the psychological and human performance dynamics of a game. The one displayed here is especially stark, conveying the long struggle Black had but White's inability to put her away for good, then finally exhaustion and collapse at the end. Perhaps an illustration of what Yermolinsky called the "burden of small advantages" - although taken a bit further here for White, who I'm sure felt just as much (perhaps more) frustration and pressure as her opponent, while trying to win what should have been a won game positionally.ChessAdminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231584333139931889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393640898640561043.post-78209372484819722322022-03-10T18:03:07.312-05:002022-03-10T18:03:07.312-05:00I enjoy your blog immensely.

I am glad to know that there is now an "Evaluation Explorer" screen available. I do not believe my version has that. But an evaluation bar/graph is one of my favorite tools in analyzing games on Chess.com or chesstempo.com. So I will have to check into upgrading my version of HCE to get that feature. Keep up the good work !!!
