Subjoined is a table of the potential complements of the Chesspieces.
The King 6⁹⁄₁₆ units.
The Queen 22¼ ”
The Rook 14 ”
The Bishop 8¾ ”
The Knight 5¼ ”
The Pawn 1½ ”
The student clearly should understand that this table does not indicate
prowess, but relates exclusively to normal facilities for bringing force
into action.

The relative advantage in Organization possessed by one army over an
opposing army always can be determined by the following, viz.:
_RULE._
1. Above a line, set down in order those abbreviations which properly
designate the White corps d’armee present in a given Strategetic
Situation; and below the line, set down those abbreviations which in like
manner designate the Black corps d’armee, viz.:
K+Q+R+R+P+P+P+P
----------------
K+Q+R+B+P+P+P+P+P
2. Cancel all like symbols and resolve the unlike symbols remaining, into
their respective Potential complements, viz.:
R 14
--- = ------- = ---
B+P 8¾ + 1½ 10¼
3. Subtract the lesser Potential total from the greater and the
difference will be the relative advantage in Organization.
4. To utilize the relative advantage in Organization select a battlefield
in which the Strategic Key, the Tactical Keys and the Points of Command
of the True Strategetic Horizon are situated upon the perimeters of those
geometric and sub-geometric symbols which appertain to the corps d’armee
whose superior potentiality is established by Section 2.
5. To neutralize the relative disadvantage in Organization, occupy the
necessary posts upon the battlefield selected in such a manner that the
kindred decisive points are situated _not_ upon the perimeters of the
geometric and sub-geometric symbols appertaining to the adverse corps
d’armee of superior potentiality; while the adverse decisive points _are_
situated upon the perimeters of the geometric and sub-geometric symbols
which appertain to the kindred corps d’armee of inferior potentiality.
