Emne: Ice Age Chess New Tactics!

All fans of Ice Age chess have a look at this position of my current game:
_

Ice Age Chess (mezzanine vs. megaadam)

White moves and wins.
_

Note that to achieve the above position I saced Q for N.

Conclusion: In Ice-Age chess advanced pawn's and knight's are of more value than bishops, and when close to an Ice-Age even of more value than rook's and queen's. ;)

Emne: Re: Ice Age Chess New Tactics!

mezzanine: Certainly, piece values in Ice Age Chess are completely different from that in chess. Pawns and knights are considerably more valuable. Rooks and bishops are about the same value.

I think piece values are something like:
* bishop: 2 pawns
* rook: 2 pawns
* knight: 4 pawns
* queen: 5 pawns
