For example, ''GIMEL'' has no meaning at all. It remains as empty as
''LEMIG,'' undefined without credit of invention. ''GIMEL 4.0''
(I)_______________________ now defines a problemists' piece-type only.
TABLE OF SOVEREIGN VALUES ''GIMEL 4.0, 4'' is a sovereign piece-type
P/T P/Value Mate# proper. Acceptable to tag ''invented by...''
ROOK 5.0 1 Each piece-type must needs a computation
FALCON 5.0 1 of value to un-shackle blanket trivialization.
COMMONER 3.0 1 Without at least the other two columns left,
BISHOP 3.0 2 ordered pair, each indexing future and past,
KNIGHT 3.0 3 is an essential nullity. Such jejune
CAMEL 2.5 3 cataloguing without number is not Emperor
ZEBRA 3.0 3 without clothes, it's Emperor stripped of
FERZ/MET 2.0 4 skin alive, a ghastly de-sentientation and
GRYPHON 4.0 1 and dis-corporation ('Stranger in a Strange
SQUIRREL 5.5 1 Land'). Each piece value should be read as
BENT HERO 4.5 1 range +/- 0.25 applicable to most likely
QUINTESSENCE 4.0 3 environments. Common sense applies in such
VENATOR 3.5 5 as no 6x6 or 75% piece-density to base
IMMOBILIZER 10.0 1 educated estimations. The
table above is preliminary, subject to /_\. One key other compendium, articles M&Bxxs constantly re-name albeit 'undefineds' by above criterion.
