This thread makes me want to build a simple chess-practice tool that works like this:
1) Get a big database of positions
2) Use StockFish to evaluate all the positions
3) Pick a position at random, show it to the user, and ask for their evaluation
4) User gets a score based on the difference b/t their eval and StockFish's.
The idea being that this could allow you to rapidly hone your position-evaluation skill. That might be a faster way to improve at chess than just grinding through many games.
