King and Pawn endgames are crazy. Perspective is a good thing.

It is important to recognize that a narrative

has both positive and negative qualities. To understand

this, let's take an analogy. Suppose a

business is looking at last year's sales figures.

The raw figures are divided up according to

month, country, type of product and possibly

many other criteria. It is likely that such a mass

of figures will initially convey no meaning at

all. However, by creating a 'business narrative',

in which figures are replaced by graphs, and irrelevant

data are discarded, it may be possible

to deduce, for example, that one type ofproduct

sold better in Europe than in America, which

may help the business plan for the future.

The problem is that the creation of a narrative

involves human intervention. Going from the

raw data to the narrative involves many decisions;

whether the American data include sales

in Canada and Mexico, which data to exclude,

how the graph should be constructed. All of this

means that the final narrative may not accurately

reflect the original data. The time-periodfor the

graph may be chosen to emphasize a particular

trend, or the scale of the graph may be selected

so as to exaggerate or understate a change. A

good statistician will go to great lengths to try

to ensure that the narrative does not distort the

original data, but such information is often presented

by people who, consciously or subconsciously,

wish to offer a particular slant on the

data. Politicians are, of course, masters of the

art of the selective statistic.

In chess it's much the same.
