Betza wrote this 1996 with revision 2001. Betza wants mostly roughly ''Rook-valued pieces'' in these pieces compounded of constituents. The last commenter Levi Aho calculates quadrillions (10^15's) combinations for pieces from this one Betza piece-value article alone. Actually Aho takes some license, because they would not all render as 5.0 +/- 1.0, but piece values would scatter by that Comment considerably, still probably all neatly between Pawn and Queen within the definitions. Betza only addresses ones near Rook value ''HFD is the beloved Half-Duck,'' a great piece worth 5.0 points.
