Does anyone know what are all seventeen factors of small nature in the "Mendeleev table"?  Or where I can find them?  I know some factors include things like controlling a file; having the better minor piece in blocked positions, probably a Knight, in open positions, probably a Bishop, having slightly more space, and so on.  That's six factors but that still leaves eleven factors out there.  What are they? 

Let's see

Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Flourine, Neon....

Or am I thinking of a different table?

Mendellev was the first person to create a relaeted verison of our periodic table I think.

hi

Did Mendeleyev play chess?

yes and he create this list to help him in chess

You might be confused or you might know something I don't know.  Mendeleyev created what we call the Periodic Table of the Elements which arranges the Chemical Elements such as Hydrogen, Helium, et cetera, according to their properties.  I had never heard of Mendeleyev playing chess.

ok my bad you're correct he didn't play chess, but my question is from the book "principles of the new chess" by bruce pandolfini. page 73 "the famous soviet teacher alexander kotov (1913-81) listed seventeen factors of small nature. echoing chemistry, he arranged them in what he called a "mendeleev table". the factors include things like controlling the file, having the better minor piece (in blocked position, probably knight, in open position, probably bishop), having a slightly better piece placement, slightly stronger pawns, slightly more space, and so on. acquire a number of these slight edges and you have an enormous advantage. so you're absolutely correct it's alexander kotov's table he called "mendeleev table" do you know all 17 factos????

Google this on the internet

I count 18 elements listed there.

thank you- ghostfmaroczy!!!!! you rock!!!!!!

Speaking of tables, the abbreviations for elements 17, 18 and 19 in the PERIODIC table spell out my last name in order. :)

Chlorine, Argon, Sodium FTW!

19 is indeed K but it is Potassium.  Sodium is Na.

According to The Complete Chess Addict (Fox & James, 1987), Mendeleyev "... was an avid player and a student of the game. He claimed it refreshed his mind after hard study."
