Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too
For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy) - information about upcoming tournaments - disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)

HalfPawn: There are different opinions to piece average exchange values. Current SMIRF values will equalize: R+B+P/3 == Q, so it will depend on additional positional effects, whether such a trade will be recommended or not. To call such trades "dumb" is without any argument. Normally such a trade is not deciding the outcome of a 10x8 game.
P.S.: Another proof for the experts being here. If you really should be interested in testing the real SMIRF, you simply should play serious games with it.
