The chessboard is sudivided in two equal Zones names Half-Chessboards . The first one is constituted by the four first ranks and the second one by the four last ranks The White Half-Chessboard (in red) is the union of ranks: 1, 2, 3, 4. And the Black Half-Chessboard (in blue) is the union of ranks: 5, 6, 7, 8.
(NCT II - "Chessboard geometry"). The Home Half-Chessboard is the Zone of the chessboard constituted by the four ranks 1 to 4 for White & 5 to 8 for Black (NCT II - "Chessboard geometry"). The Opponent Half-Chessboard is the Zone of the chessboard constituted by ranks 5 to 8 for White & 1 to 4 for Black (NCT II - "Chessboard geometry"). A Half-free Pawn is a pawn either without counterpawn or without sentry. Thus, if P is a pawn located on the (i,j)-square, let us consider the P-Promoting Zone: PZ_(i,j)= set of (k,l)-squares such that: k=i-1, i, i+1 & l=j+1, j+2, ..., 8 if P is White. PZ_(i,j)= set of (k,l)-squares such that: k=i-1, i, i+1 & l=j-1, j-2, ..., 1 if P is Black. Then P is a Half-free Pawn under the following condition: Evidently a candidate pawn is, in particular, a half-free pawn. In the following diagram:

Chess in the Harvard Community: «Murray Turnbull, chess master - The Big Picture: A snapshot of the Harvard Community - Story and photo by Jon Chase.» «"Play the Chessmaster, $2" the sign reads. The chess master, as he calls himself, has been a fixture in front of Holyoke Center in Harvard Square ever since 1982, a year before Au Bon Pain arrived. For $2 he takes on all comers, giving them a good advantage in his game of street chess: six minutes for the challenger, and three minutes for the chess master, to complete their game. Most often he wins, as he should, for Murray Turnbull is indeed a master, having reached that certified level in 1981. His current rating, just beneath the 2,400 that designates a senior master (the top category for nationally rated players) puts him in the top 1 percent of all rated players.» (Chess Practice Today - Chess & Life - Chess Passion).
