I read this a while back, wasn't clear on the rules, but never commented to ask. Going over it again, I can't bring myself to try to figure it all out. While part of that is me being tired, I think another part of it will affect other readers. Please try to simplify the presentation of the rules, and reduce the use of all-caps. Possibly a shorter word than "superimposed", and ones that are more varied than "superimposed on" and "superimposed upon" would also help.
Thanks, Mr. Reiniger. English is not my mother tongue, but I will follow your recommendations and simplify the rules descriptions for better understanding. Watching the LocKing Chess demo games available on the official website can also help.
P.S.: Maybe "overlaying" is better than superimposing... What do you think?

In LOCKING CHESS it is still difficult to estimate the real power of the pieces because they all gained the ability to overlay, and this factor multiplies the strategic and tactical possibilities, accelerating the dynamics of chess unpredictably. However, when the pieces are in EQUAL overlay, they are like a single piece on the same square and both can be captured in a single move!
An approximate value would be: PAWN: 1.5 points BISHOP: 4 points KNIGHT: 5 points ROOK: 6 points QUEEN: 10 points KING: value to be calculated
