Singularly enough, it seemingly has escaped the notice of the great in warfare, owing to the subtle mathematical construction of the Chess-board, its peculiar relations to the moves of the Chess-pieces, and of the latter to each other, that: PRINCIPLE I. _The functions of all three terms contained in a Strategic Syllogism may be combined in a single chess Pawn, and, that:_ II. _All three functions are contemplated in and should be expressed by every movement of every Chess-piece; and every move upon the Chess-board is weak and unscientific, to the extent that it disregards either of these obligations._ * * * * * Those advantages in position, which are denoted by the plus signs of the Strategic Syllogism, have their material manifestation upon the surface of the earth by Corps d’armee, and by Pieces which are equivalents of these latter, upon the Chess-board. The _sign +A in the Strategic Syllogism_ denotes the superior Strategic Front. That point whose occupation by a kindred piece demonstrates such superiority in position is termed the _Key of Position_. The kindred Corps occupying such point constitutes a _Corps en Line_, and is termed the _First Strategic Elemental_. The _sign +S in the Strategic Syllogism_ denotes the _larger number_ of pawn altitudes open to the kindred promotable factors. Those points occupied by such kindred promotable factors are termed _Logistic Origins_. The kindred Corps which occupy such points constitute _Corps en Route_ and collectively are termed the _Second Strategic Elemental_. The objective of Corps en Route always is the Kindred Logistic Horizon. The _sign +M in the Strategic Syllogism_ denotes that the _shortest_ open pawn altitude is occupied by a kindred promotable factor. Such kindred promotable factor is termed the _Corps en Touch_, and the point occupied by such Corps is termed the _Point of Proximity_. The Objective of such Corps always is a designated Point of Junction in the Kindred Logistic Horizon, and such Corps constitutes the _Third Strategic Elemental_. In Warfare it is imperative that each of these Strategic Elementals be represented by one or more Corps d’armee. But it is a second peculiarity of the Chessic mechanism that a single Chessic Corps d’armee may represent in itself, one, two or three Strategic Elementals and thus constitute even the entire _Strategic Ensemble_. Hence, in Chess play, the Strategic Ensemble may be either single, double, or triple, viz.: A Single Strategic Ensemble consists either of: (a) 1. Major Vertex. 2. Grand Vertex. (b) Logistic Origin. (c) Point of Proximity. A _Double Strategic Ensemble_ consists of either: (a) 1. Major Vertex, plus a Kindred Logistic Origin. 2. Grand Vertex, plus a Kindred Logistic Origin. (b) 1. Major Vertex, plus a Kindred Point of Proximity. 2. Grand Vertex, plus a Kindred Point of Proximity.
