Challenging that Mobility is Fundamental

Abstract

The notion of mobility has long been considered to be of fundamental importance in positional evaluation. Several different definitions of mobility exist, and they all show a high correlation with having a good position and eventually winning the game, as shown by experiments. However, this article contests the fundamental importance of mobility. Some alternative, and proposedly more useful, definitions of mobility are given. It is also argued that an extensive, second-order mobility analysis is not cost-effective.
