Your 24-page self-published book is full of absurdities. The queen in the center can reach 27 squares, but it isn't always in the center. Likewise for other pieces other than the rook. You don't take into account that a bishop can reach only half of the squares, which diminishes its effectiveness. The bishop isn't worth that much more than a knight. The pawn reaches 3 squares? In its starting position, it can reach two squares. Otherwise it can reach one square, unless it can make a capture. Your video shows two bishops plus a pawn as better than a queen, and that is certainly not true. And your comments about en passant are pretty strange. And you have a bishop plus a pawn as about the same as two knights, which is obviously ridiculous. And I see that your USCF rating is a lowish 1441 [USCF], which is below average for an adult tournament player. And you lost all of games at your last tournament, the under 1700 section of the Chicago Open in 2011. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 18:27, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that you can test some of your theories by using one of the top chess programs. For instance, you think that two bishops plus a pawn is better than a queen. Take the opening position, remove the queen from one side and remove two bishops and a pawn from the other side, and let the program play against itself, and see which side wins. Similarly, test two knights versus a bishop and a pawn. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 19:19, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
