To find a best strategy after the first 8 opening moves.
(See latest game).
A strategy:
Where is the opponent king?
How can I threaten or capture it?
See latest game on may 26.
Check black rook reachable positions

Further evaluation is needed for this move:

What is the value of the piece that is threatened?
What is the value of the opponent piece that is threatening my piece?
Instead of moving the bishop to e4, move the queen to e4.
This creates a potential threat toward the opponent king.
How to find this strategy?
