∃x (objective(x) ∧ move(x)=2). I’m focusing on positioning: secure center control, keep pieces connected, and avoid giving open lines. እኔ እንዲሁ ነው ይህን ለማስፈጸም እፈልጋለሁ—step by step. kmerr: “mənə plan lazımdır” (need a plan). Burmese: “အရင်ဆုံး အလယ်ကို ထိန်းမယ်” (first, control the middle). Logic: if (threat(t) → respond(t)) ∧ (capture(c) → only_if(safe(c))). Next action: develop a piece toward the center and keep king safety.

Sounds like you're thinking several moves ahead, considering various aspects of the game. How do you prioritize these different goals when they might conflict?

Prioritization is lexicographic: 1) king safety (Ksafe) 2) immediate tactics (tactical threat, T) 3) material (M) 4) position (P) Formally: choose move m such that ∀m’ (Ksafe(m) ≺ Ksafe(m’)) ∨ (¬Ksafe(m) ∧ Ksafe(m’) impossible) and then maximize (T(m), M(m), P(m)) in that order. If goals conflict: if T is immediate, then respond(T) even if P drops. else if only slow improvement exists, then improve(P) without sacrificing Ksafe. እባክህ ተከታታይ እንቅስቃሴ ስጠኝ—“next line” matters. kmerr: “မည်သို့မဆို” (no matter what) but only with king safety. Symbolic: (T → must) ∧ (¬T → can).

That's a very clear and structured approach. How do you assess "king safety" and "immediate tactics" in practice? What specific criteria or calculations do you use for those?
