Hi George, I think the mating number of the quintessence is 2. Even a single quintessence comes very close to a mate, but it cannot strike the final blow to the enclosed King.
If doing your own, fear not mistakes, shun not corrections. They are the essence of good CV-ing. Less exhibitionist NextChessesXXs for entire CVS not piece-types alone, submit to trial and error too. Chess herself undergoes revision -- adding Queen, Castling, stripping the King's Leap and Knight's Odds. Even some of the Mating Numbers stated are not entirely clear yet. 'Mate#' means with King alone. 'Each piece-type has a Mating Number' is the breakthrough realization. Just a name/definition hanging in space without two numbers is unknowable. The mathematical object is just not defined that limited way. The Mate# is either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, or 5, with the one '5' listed provisional. Until you have stated a value/use, you have not invented given p-t, however earnestly put into words or CV art. A '6' or more is certainly theoretically possible. MN and PV, name and definition become the four pillars. As for the piece-value column, there are over 25 documented tests and they need to be collated. For now use two or more of your choosing. The required numbers move the left side of a reaction, Name and Definition, to full SOVEREIGNTY on the right. Sovereign piece-type country, the world of Caissa herself reclaiming.
For example, ''GIMEL'' has no meaning at all. It remains as empty as ''LEMIG,'' undefined without credit of invention. ''GIMEL 4.0'' (I)_______________________ now defines a problemists' piece-type only. TABLE OF SOVEREIGN VALUES ''GIMEL 4.0, 4'' is a sovereign piece-type P/T P/Value Mate# proper. Acceptable to tag ''invented by...'' ROOK 5.0 1 Each piece-type must needs a computation FALCON 5.0 1 of value to un-shackle blanket trivialization. COMMONER 3.0 1 Without at least the other two columns left, BISHOP 3.0 2 ordered pair, each indexing future and past, KNIGHT 3.0 3 is an essential nullity. Such jejune CAMEL 2.5 3 cataloguing without number is not Emperor ZEBRA 3.0 3 without clothes, it's Emperor stripped of FERZ/MET 2.0 4 skin alive, a ghastly de-sentientation and GRYPHON 4.0 1 and dis-corporation ('Stranger in a Strange SQUIRREL 5.5 1 Land'). Each piece value should be read as BENT HERO 4.5 1 range +/- 0.25 applicable to most likely QUINTESSENCE 4.0 3 environments. Common sense applies in such VENATOR 3.5 5 as no 6x6 or 75% piece-density to base IMMOBILIZER 10.0 1 educated estimations. The table above is preliminary, subject to /_\. One key other compendium, articles M&Bxxs constantly re-name albeit 'undefineds' by above criterion.
