23. Septembrie 2006, 10:48:01 Subiectul: Piece value I've got a question to the more experienced players of Los Alamos Chess. I'm relatively new at this kind of game, so I don't have good understanding of it (playing it only just for fun). In my opinion, in Los Alamos Chess pawns are stronger than in normal chess, because the board is smaller (-> faster promotion of pawns -> faster control of board), and pawns have to do the the job of the missing bishops (e.g.covering the diagonals). So I'm interested if I'm wrong with this idea, that there is a movement of strength of the pieces to normal chess, or if it is only theoretical and isn't noticealbe while playing game. Thanks for your answers!  23.

This is a simplistic appraisla but you can see where it leads. There has been much discussion on peice values in the 10x8 thread over the years, including methods for determining the values. you might find it interesting to read through there ... you could try a search using "piece value". Cheers WQ :) 24. Septembrie 2006, 10:05:18 Subiectul: Re: Piece value WhisperzQ: Thanks for your quick answer. Your kind of view to this problem seems logical to me. That far I haven't thought...  And thanks for the hint with the 10x8 board. I'll have a look at it!andreas: Thanks for the values. For the first time it's a good guidline. But do you know how this values are acquired? 24.
