Muller & Scharnagl:

Please note that I have revised my model again in consideration to recent
playtesting results.  This affects material values of 'supreme pieces'
in both FRC and CRC.

CRC
material values of pieces

pawn 10.00
knight 30.77
bishop 37.56
rook 59.43
archbishop 98.22 
chancellor 101.48
queen 115.18

FRC
material values of pieces

pawn 10.00
knight 30.00
bishop 32.42
rook 50.88

My current CRC model is more similar to the Muller model than any other.
My current FRC model is more similar to the Kaufmann model than any
other.

Unfortunately, a 65-page explanation, even if it is 'elaborate sense',
is not conducive to the 'short, convincing argument' you seek.
