Evaluating Chess Pieces: Activity and Mobility

NM Dan Heisman defines activity and mobility and breaks mobility down into actual and potential mobility. Then, with the help of several instructive examlpes, he shows how to achieve/measure mobility, and how to differentiate mobility (objective) from activity (subjective). At the end of the video he throws in the concept of “space” and how it relates to mobility and activity.
