Just to keep the imbalances in mind.
Silman proposed following imbalances in his first editions of HTRYC:
1. Superior minor pieces
2. Pawn structure (in fact a little bit misleading, as he means different issues related to pawns)
3. Space
4. Material
5. Key files / key squares
6. Lead in development
7. Initiative ("pushing your own agenda")
In the fourth edition the list became larger:
5. Control of key files
6. Control over holes (or weak squares)
7. Lead in development
8. Initiative ("pushing your own agenda")
9. King safety
10. Static / dynamic factors
