RN31 Acid-Base: Pairwise same-type adjacent opposite-side pieces mutually lose their capturing ability. (a) no effect (b) Opposite-number Knights adjacent, diagonal or orthogonal, have their capture ability 'neutralized', negated. They can only move away without capturing. (c) Opposite Falcons so adjacent cannot capture, called the Acid-Base effect. (d) Acid-Base applies to Knight and Falcon. (e) A-B extends to all paired same-type opposite-side pieces adjacent. (f) Any opposite-side piece (not pawn) adjacency neutralizes each other's capture capability, irrespective of piece-type. (g) 31f applies only to pieces wholly in the two central files (e&f), the Cauldron. (h) 31f applies centrally to opposite pairs(any mix of types) within files d,e,f,g, the Wide Cauldron. 7.859790152 x 10^23, approx. 786 sextillion, exceeds Avogadro's number. Early hominid Australopithecus' companion: ''Nose in the mud and the bend of the neck of a thing to the ground, as a convenience in eating grass. The all-day gnaw of the fields. But the eater of meat is released from the munch. One way to broaden horizons is to climb a tree. Another way is to stand on one's own hind legs, away from the grass.''
