<>Does not the amount of moves required to deliver mate correspond to piece "strength"?

Absolutely has a relation with the piece strength. But it's not the only factor of course.

And that's the weak part of the "safe check" procedure in order to find the piece values. It only takes into consideration the safe checks a piece can give to an empty board at every opponents King position. Yet the piece values it predicts is amazingly close to that most GM's think.
This is inexplicable and seems incredible to me!

I wonder if a similar method that would calculate the percentage of safe threats of the Rook for example, at every piece, what would give?
