Found a couple of Good Books while Browsing B&N this evening.


How To Think In Chess


And
Concise Chess Endings by Neil MacDonald



I was scanning through the first book, and in one place they had listed 10 items to look for when evaluating a position in a STATIC mode.

Components of STATIC EVALUATION

1. Open Lines
2. Open Diagonals
3. Strong and Weak Points
4. Control of Center
5. King Placement
6. Positioning of Pieces
7. Pawn Structure
8. Comparison with Typical Positions
