The Advanced Chain

Point Count Chess: Advanced Chain [+];

Diagram 1, below, shows both White and Black pawns in a standard Pawn Chain formation.

Diagram 1: White & Black Pawn Chains

Any Pawn Chain where the lead Pawn sits on the 5th Rank (thus, advanced into enemy territory), scores a plus point. Diagram 2, below, shows both White & Black with Advanced Chain formations, with the lead pawn of White's Chain being on e5, while the lead of Black's Chain is on h4.

Diagram 2: White & Black Advanced Chains

Of course, if both armies had Advanced Chains, like in Diagram 2, the plus points would cancel each others out.

There's also the qualitative aspect of the two Chains to take into account, though this doesn't score any extra points. In Diagram 2, White's Chain is better, because it is closer to the Center.
