Konu: Value of the Pieces on 10x8 Board

I finally finished the page with the mathematical derivation of the piece values. Each step is explained in great detail. Take a look at:

Piece Values

for more information. I came up with these values for the approximate piece weights. Feel free to discuss this, argue with it, defend, attack, or modify these values as much as you want online here.

Pawn 1.00
Knight 2.50
Bishop 3.00
Rook 4.75
Archbishop 6.50
Chancellor 8.25
Queen 8.75

Okay, but if we have pillow fights, can we use feather pillows in the street on a windy day?

Seriously, Ed, your Piece Values web page is quite informative. At first look, it appears to be mathematically correct, which is a welcome development. I have to wonder how much time it must be taking you to assemble all these parts to your platform? Fortunately, you seem to have the general footing secure in the way things work, so we can continue to blithely play our gothic games without wondering if it will ever catch on: of course it will!

And the feathers will be scattered by the wind for sure.

Konu: Re: Value of the Pieces on 10x8 Board

Well, since you did all the maths for this, it should be quite right.

I've got nothing to back up, but I feel a little 'naked' without the AB after its been exchanged off. I suppose that I would grade/value the AB a little higher, but that depends on the other available pieces on the board. You've seen some of my games and the damage I inflict with the 'peculiar' AB :)

Anyways, a note to Felix... I do follow what you guys are going on about this with great interest. Its just that I dont really have time to go into all the details, but I suppose that I try to remember whatever I can and apply it OTB.

Regards all,
