(Scroll all messages here.) Now on piece-type values, here is a different approach. Let's say Rook has an established value of 5.0 and Pawn 1.0. The board can be 8x8 or 9x9 or 10x10, and this will work. Instead of defining the type first, establish the value you want, then design the type. If wanting a piece-type value of 3.88 with respect to R50 and P10, surely there is a corresponding inventable p-t. After all, it has been proven that piece-types are unlimited just as CVs themselves are potentially infinite. Joyce would agree, the principle of reasonably-moderate target values is one mainstay of for instance the ShortRange Project, just commented below. So it's not unheard of, but even desirable, to seek a value. You can draw from the lot of sliders, leapers, hoppers, and contingency pieces compounded at will including multi-path. Bonus Question 11 then to the quiz of 10 is, (11) What p-t has the appropriate wanted 3.88? [Click back ''all messages'' above for the first ten perfectly serious questions.
