Subjekt: Re: Piece Values

Zmenené užívateľom Chessmaster1000 (2. októbra 2004, 00:44:18)

Well i quickly calculated the values of some of the pieces for Omega Chess according to the "safe check" procedure.

So i calculated that:
Pawn= 1.00 (Definition)
Knight= 1.96
Bishop= 2.99
Rook= 5.00
Queen= 7.99.
(I've done this very quickly and it is possible that it's wrong but i will check it tomorrow).
I don't have time for calculating the Wizard and the Champion but perhaps i will do it tomorrow.

These values differ from that on strategy tips at Omegachess.com.

But i think that their values for some pieces are wrong. Giving the queen a 12 is something that i can understand since the 10x10+4 board makes the Queen even more powerful than in Chess, but not 12 Pawns! It's way too much. Also the Bishop it's not possible to be 4 Pawns while Knight is 2 Pawn-points, since the 10x10+2 board is not enough for this. If this was right then 2 Knights would be equivalent to one Bishop but this is obvious false.
