RN208 Blue Queen. So there appear to be about 200 billion Shakespearean atoms per sentient being. Parallelly, both sides alternately possess the one Blue Queen. Blue Queen belongs to player on move. Since BQ is always the player's moving, BQ can never be captured. (a) no effect (b) BQ initially positioned by agreement at one of central four-square or two-square (9x10), player's turn consists of moving Blue Queen and then one's piece or Pawn normally. Only differences from moving a Queen is that Blue Queen can only capture a Pawn if (hypothetically) attacking her and Blue Queen cannot exactly reverse the last move. Also, only for check or checkmate, Blue Queen belongs to both teams at once. I.e., when there is any check at all, player on turn may move Blue Queen, possibly removing one check, only to be still checkmated, after completion of step-two of move, with even the very Blue Queen figuring in a checkmate by the other player. No prohibition on error of self-checkmate. (c) 'b' the BQ actually so checking can only move up to 2 spaces. (d) 'c' 3 spaces (e) 'c' 4 spaces (f) 'c' 5 spaces (g) 'b' After (compulsory) move of BQ player may move at option an opponent's piece/Pawn adjacent to BQ in place of own. (h)'g' only N, F (i) 'g' only B, N, F (j) 'g' B, N, R, F (k) 'g' only Pawns so adjacent (l) 'g' Pawns, N or F (m) 'g' Pawns, B, N, F (n) Pawns, B, N, R, F (o) 'h', also Blue Queen adjacent to own N or F may move as that one at option. (p) 'j' BQ adjacent to own Falcon may optionally move as Falcon. Cumulative: 2.89151221765 x 10^35 Chess Variations. Provisionally that covers entire lowest level of Great Pyramid blocks of stone in equality of molecules, or atoms -- visual comparison-description soon slightly to be re-calibrated by studying similar calculations elsewhere, given estimates herein being fairly close to other specialists', within reasonable definitional margins of error.
