Hi
Wanted to post this to the group and see if (somewhat) accurately captured the
different movements (as defined below) in chess.
CHESS TABLE OF MOVEMENT
Capture/NonCapture NonCapture Only Capture Only
1 KBRQ P P
2 NBRQ KRP*
3 BRQ R**
4 BRQ
5 BRQ
6 BRQ
7 BRQ
TOTAL 7 3 1
*Castle Queen side(K), castle King side(KR), first move of Pawn(P)
**Castle Queen side(R)
There are 11 discrete Movements in chess (represented by the 6 types of pieces)
Movement is a function of: Type(3) and Magnitude(7)
Type: Capture/NonCapture
Capture Only
NonCapture Only
Magnitude: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (number of squares)
Only the Pawn(P) has a 'Capture Only' characteristic.
The King(K) and Pawn(P) are limited to a Magnitude of 1 and a one time Magnitude
of 2.
The Knight(N) has a fixed Magnitude of 2.
The Knight(N) is listed the least: 1 time.
The Rook(R) is listed the most: 9 times.
Only Magnitude 2 contains all 6 piece types.
