ok so you're trying to solve for the best strategy to get checkmate from the start of a game?
or you're trying to solve for checkmate from common positions of pieces in the end game?
either way the only answer for those questions, in a game of chess that has a border, is analysis of how the pieces act inside that border. otherwise you're just solving how to get checkmate on a limitless board, which has no bearing on a limited board.
this would be like studying strategies for the 100 meter dash to make conclusions about marathon running, it's nonsensical. adding what moves pieces COULD make on a limitless board saying nothing about how they can produce a checkmate.

No one knows how to solve complex games on a board without limit.
No one.
I'm looking for general rules, before looking for specific rules.
