Subject: Re: Gothic Chess Piece Values

Hi, Ed! I couldn't help it: When I saw that Fencer had implemented Gothic Chess while I was logged on to BrainKing.com, I just couldn't resist rushing over to be the first to post. :-)

I would like to see how you came up with the formulas for the piece values (i.e. the "safe check probability"). I was able to derive the formulas for the Rook and Knight that you published in your article (Gothic Chess Review, July 2000), but those were the only two formulas you listed. (OK, I'll admit it. I'm a math professor, so I find that sort of thing interesting. :-) )
