Why the difference? (4) What is the minimum Fool's Mate at Alice Chess? (5) Consider practical piece values the way Betza does without particularly computer aid. First, here compare Rococo Cannon Pawns and Centennial Quadra-Pawns, neither able to promote. Of course, Cannon Pawn benefits from larger board in general, compared to Quadra-Pawn. At 10x10 Cannon Ps. are superior, whilst 8x8 Quadra-Ps. Where would be the cross-over point, 8x9, 8x10, 9x9, 9x10? Which of the two have higher piece value and better winning chances on those intermediate sizes, other things being equal? // Now the upcoming decade of the teens, after these aughts, will probably not see us get so sophisticated as Barton's: (Z) ''By how many seconds a year does proper time in Singapore drop behind a hypothetical reference clock fixed relative to but far away from the sun, (a) due to the orbital motion of the earth; (b) due to its orbital motion jointly with its rotation? (Orbital speed is u = 3 x 10^4 m/s, and the speed of rotation at equator is u' = 460 m/s. Pretend that the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the orbital plane.)''
