VERY WORK IN PROGRESS
1st LIST OF CONTENTS: MAIN TOPICS; MAIN PHASES OF THOUGHT:
1.Piece Lists: concepts to acknowledge every piece on the board
2.Movement Stars: concepts to acknowledge every piece’s every direction of movement
3.Effects per any 1 Move: concepts to acknowledge every detail in every move
4.Ideals: concepts to craft both’s plans most easily
5.Attacks to Defences: concepts to find, with Lists & Stars & Effects & Ideal comparisons, all relevant candidate_moves; from both’s compared Ideal Plans, to the Actual plans of both; the Syntheses
6.Choice Tree navigation: concepts to prioritize and deprioritize, then select, THE Actual Plan (the main branch)
2nd LIST OF CONTENTS, with 1 or 2 level(s) of SUBTOPICS:
1.Piece Lists: concepts to acknowledge every piece on the board. Subtopic 1.1. or 1.3. first defines your style as an Attacker or Defender. 1st_mover should start with 1.1., and 2nd_mover with 1.3., until finding Attack(s) ie Initiative(s), and become the First mover with 1.1. first.
1.1.own Remover List = QRRBBNN PPPP PPPP K
1.2.enemy Removable List = KQRRBBNN PPPP PPPP
1.3.enemy Remover List = QRRBBNN PPPP PPPP K
1.4.own Removable List = KQRRBBNN PPPP PPPP
2.Movement Stars: concepts to acknowledge every piece’s every direction of movement
2.1.Specific MoveStars = Q, R, B, N, K, P moveStars
2.2.Line MoveStar = Q moveStar = R + B moveStars = R + B + K moveStars
2.3.Universal MoveStar = Q + N moveStars
2.4.Advancing MoveStars = any moveStar’s squares toward enemyPiece areas
2.5.Devancing MoveStars = any moveStar’s squares away from enemy areas
3.The 4 square categories of Effect per any 1 move: concepts to acknowledge every detail in every move:
3.1.Before ownMoves, counted numerically in moves: 0(this) move to remove PieceX’s IdealBranches, 1 move, n moves. Or 0 move to block, 1 move, n moves.
3.1.1.Removables Approachable, & other Attacks & Defences
3.1.2.Blockings Approachable, to enemy & to own.
3.1.3.Removables Deproaching from, & from other Attacks & Defences
3.1.4.Blocking Deproaching from, from own & enemy.
3.2.After enemyMoves, counted numerically in moves: 0 move to rem, 1 move, n moves. Or 0 move to block, 1 moves, n moves.
3.2.1.Being Approached with, to Attacks & Defences, from own & enemy.
3.2.2.Approached Attacks & Defences
3.2.3.Deproached Attacks & Defences
3.2.4.Being Deproached with, from Attacks & Defences
4.Ideals: concepts to craft your plans (branches) most easily
4.1.Ideal RemovalBranch(es) = eg Pe4 to Pe5 x Nf6 x ([Pg7 x {Rh8=O or Bf8=O} or Pe7 x {Qd8=O or Bf8=O}]) = 1 move 0 pawnUnits (ideally: squareRemovalUnits) + 2m3p + eg 3m4p + 4m9p+Op — COMPARED WITH enemy IdealRemBranch(es), to determine Winner if both compete only IdealBranches without Defence. Loser starts candidating Defences also, Winner may candidate Defences first also if own IdealBranch nonDefencible.
4.2.Ideal Square(s)Now = eg d5 for N –> N moveStar devancing from d5 to eg c3, then devancing to Nb1 or advancing from Nb1 to c3 –> IdealSquare RemovalBranch found.
5.The 10 categories from Attack to Defence: concepts to find, with moveStars, all relevant candidate_moves for the execution of your Ideal branches.
5.1.deActualPlan targetPiece(s) = eg Attackingly: A8 …Nc6 = 0v0 –> Bb5 A1 …Nc6 –> …Nc6 A9=0 (squares). Or Defensively: …Bb4 A2.3 in 1 (move) Ke1 –> Pa3 A1 …Bb4 –> Yet defended…
5.2.Capturing\Removing target(Pieced)Squares, in order from earliest common occurrence to later common occurrence:
5.2.1.(Rems = reRems) = eg 1v1, but after gain Attack(s) by reRem’s’ Effects.
5.2.2.(Caps\Rems > reCaps) = eg 1v0 or 3v2 = CapRem! and get the last Piece onto that square after full reCaps (or choose capturer from your overNumberedPieces).
5.2.3.(Caps\Rems value < reRems value) = eg PvN or RvQ = Remove! and get the better trade. A simplification of 5.2.4.
5.2.4.(Caps\Rems ActualBranch[es] < Capd\Remd ActualBranch[es]) = eg …Ne7 < Nf5 = Remove! a better Piece than yours was, though both were Ns.
5.3.Accumulation, toward target(Pieced)Square’s’ cap\rem = eg 0v0 –> 1v1 –> 2v1 –> Rem!
5.4.Rarefycation, of target(Pieced)Square’s’ Defenders = eg 2v2 –> Rarefy –> 2v1 –> Rem!
5.5.Diversion, of target(Pieced)Square’s’ Defenders, by (pre)Removing Defender’s’ other Proteges = eg 2v2 –> Diversion –> 2v1 –> Rem!
5.6.Isolation, of defenderPiece’s’ Line(s) to target(Pieced)Square(s), by Capturing (counterCapturable) Squares from the Line(s) = eg 2v2 –> Isolation –> 2v1 –> Rem!
5.7.Pinning Attacker(s) = eg 2v1 –> Pinning –> 1v1 –> Yet Defending…
5.8.counterRemoving (after) target(Pieced)Square(s) cap\rem = eg 2v1 –> add counterRem –> 2v2 –> Yet Defending…
5.9.Escaping with targetPiece(s) = eg 2v1 –> Escape –> 2vEmpty –> Yet Defending…
5.10.SelfPinning, by Isolation of attackerPiece’s’ Line(s) to target(Pieced)Square’s’, by Capturing (counterRemovable) Square(s) from the Line(s) = eg 2v1 –> selfPinning –> 1v1 –> Yet Defending…

5th CONTENTS LIST: MORE NATURAL LANGUAGE EXPLANAINING:
1.Piece lists
1.1.Capturer list: QRRBBNNPsK, in order from “squaremost & fastest & powerfullest” to “squareleast & slowest & weakest”. The K is an exception, being often powerfulmore than 1 R, but because of it’s immense value, it becomes weak if checkmate patterns nearby. (The K’s value is at least 9+10+6,5+6+8+(x>0) = 39,5+x ~ 40+, and at most ∞ [infinite].)
1.2.Target list: KQRRBBNNPs, in order from valuemost to worthleast.
2.MovementStars, along CapturerList, toward TargetList. Every piece has it’s own “Specific MoveStar”, and then there is the “Universal MoveStar” including all 8 directions plus 8 knight jumps. Also the “Line MoveStar” = “Queen MoveStar”. MoveStars should be divided into “advancing MoveStar lines” and “devancing (retreating) MoveStar lines”. Advancement is mostly preferable, unless an enemy piece as Target or Capturer requires devancement.
3.The Ideal (< The Ideal Path, and The Ideal Square[s]): only own piece’s moves considered (no counterplay from enemy considered yet), until reaching EnemyTeamAsTargetList’s valuemostAvailable members as Captureds. If multiple comparable Ideals, then continue Ideals further till difference in Promise.
4.The Categories of Attack & Defence (Capturing & contraCapturing):
4.1.Capturing an enemyTeamMember.
4.2.0.Through MoveStars, usually advancingMoveStars, finding any Captures in 1 move (=Attacks), and counting own_vs_enemy piece Capture_Balance on the AttackedTarget as not yet OverNumberingDefenders or UnderValuedToTarget&orContras, which would justify beginning Captures, there exist the following Categories of AttackContinuations:
4.2.Accumulation against Target: search other Attackers’ MoveStars to Target(s). With more Attackers, Target becomes outNumbered.
4.3.Rarefy Defenders of Target: search other Attackers’ MoveStars to Target’s Defender(s). With less Defenders, Target becomes underNumbered.
4.4.Diversion to Defenders of Target: search other Attackers’ MoveStars to Target’s Defender(s)’ Proteges: Defender cannot defend both.
4.5.Isolation of Defenders from Target: search other Attackers’ MoveStars, onto the squares along the Defenders’ Lines to Target’s counterCapturing.
4.6.Pin for Attack: search other LinearAttackers’ (QRB) MoveStars to Target and thru Target onto valuemore or defencelesser Target2 behind Target; Target cannot move without exposing Target2 for capture. This makes Target immobile, allowing easier Accumulation.
4.7.Pin for Defence: Defender pins Attacker onto valuemore or defencelesser teamMember of Attacker.
4.8.CounterCapture: Defenders’ MoveStars toward Target; if Attackers capture, Defenders counterCap.
4.9.Evasion: Target’s MoveStar onto a better square, with less Attacking exposure, and as much as more own Attacking Path’s nearness in ply to EnemyTargetList.
4.10.SelfPinning: Defender’s MoveStar onto 1 square along LineAttacker’s (QRB) line toward Target (who’d be less counterCappable or moreValuable. Attacker needs another Path.
5.The 4 Change categories per every 1 move List:
Every Piece has 1 and only 1 basic attribute IN SPACE (area): Being on a Square (in 0 moves).
Every Piece has ∞ [infinite] shallow and ever_deepening attributes IN TIMESPACES: Beings in 1, 2, …, x moves on farther squares. These are called Captures, of empty squares first, then of enemyPieced squares.
The 4 Change Categories do List this fact, into:
5.1.Before own moves:
5.1.1.Capturing approached: MoveStars from “OwnTeamAsCapturerList” to “EnemyTeamAsTargetList”.
5.1.2.Being approached: from the squares ownTeam movable to: Uni(versal)MoveStars to enemyCapturerList, to count Caps_in_1 to this Being Approached square. Also UniMoveStars to own CapturerList, to count reCaps_in_1 to this BA square. If EnemyCaps=OwnReCaps, +OwnBeingApproacher, then BASquare is conquerable by own after all trades, unless OverValued OwnReCaps, ie UnderValued Enemy(re)Caps. Also UniMoveStars to enemy&own CapturerLists, to see Paths>Lines>Squares blocked so deproached.
5.1.3.Capturing deproached: UniMoveStars outward from “own piece’s NOW, YET, (re)capturable squares”. Ie “the squares left behind & so weakened by -1 own capturer”: enemy may now approach what own deproached.
5.1.4.Being deproached: own&enemy UniMoveStars outward from this square, to see CapApproacheds.
5.2.After Enemy moves:
5.2.1.Being approached: UniMoveStar from “moved enemy piece” toward “own team as CapList”, to see if enemy can be capped immediately, and if it deproached own team members. Also toward “enemy team as CapList” to see enemy reCaps and enemySelfBlocks.
5.2.2.EnemyCapsApproached: MoveStar from “moved enemy piece” toward “own team as TargetList”.
5.2.3.Capturing deproached: UniMoveStars to OwnTeam, for -1 enemy (re)Caps into square Supremacy (own Caps to square, minus goer, equal to enemy CapsToSquare).
5.2.4.Being deproached: UniMoveStars, both own&enemy, to see approached CapPaths.
