Subject: Re: Value of Janus

Interesting. Is this value of the Janus published anywhere or is it based on your experience? In Gothic Chess, giving up a Queen for an Archbishop (the same as a Janus) is called the "Gothic Exchange" and is considered less of a sacrifice than the standard Exchange (giving up a Rook for a Bishop).
