A chess engine calculates millions of positions per second, assigning a numerical value; a centipawn score of +1.00 means it assesses White is about a pawn up. But this number is a ghost—it doesn’t know the pressure of a clock or the tremor in a player’s hand. I’ve seen students slavishly follow the engine’s ‘best move’ into a cold, losing endgame they don’t understand. My own stubborn hope comes from that wobbling fan above my board: I calculate deeper in the silence it makes, learning that some advantages are felt, not just counted.
