What is it about?
The game of chess involves patterns. In this article we develop a simple description language for chess positions as patterns. It seems useful to catalogue similar positions in a generic form, based on common elements, in order to simplify the search for chess positions.

Why is it important?
The aim is to avoid a commonly-used brute force approach in chess searching. Further,the description language could explain why some typical maneuvers actually work in some patterns. This could also be a step forward to model and build chess programs, which perform in a way closer to what a human being does.
