While misslead is correct, NEVER count the pieces out of the board. For all means, count the pieces ON the board. With practice, you will find that you will have no need at all of counting them (you will know that without any need for counting!), and you will get a more real sense out of what the positon is all about.

Originally posted by LittleBearThat is absolutely the best advise . Always check from the board as it is possible to be material down but hold a superior position. With practice and some simul experience you will achieve that 'tactical awareness' and in time be able to appraise any position with just a glance.
