Field notes
The page lays out a simple reasoning sequence: look ahead from candidate moves, compare the resulting positions, and explain the preference. Its worked example asks Black to weigh a pawn capture against a knight capture, beginning with a count of the material. Although the homepage mentions Go as well as chess, the visible example is chess-specific; the Code section is labeled “Coming soon.”
