Dan Heisman, an American USCF chess master, chess journalist [1], columnist and instructor. Heisman is a member of the ICGA and worked at both Deep Blue versus Garry Kasparov matches (1996 and 1997) [2]. Dan Heisman [3] represents an attempt at mathematical abstraction applied to chess, introducing seven concepts as fundamental in analyzing a chess position: mobility, flexibility, vulnerability, center control, piece coordination, time and speed. Heisman applies two dichotomies: actual versus potential and local versus global [4] .
