Does Zillions recognize and award the Bishop pair? Or do the values you
give represent an average of the paired nd unpaired Bishop?

Exchanging the first B (so you break the pair) against N+P turned out to be an equal trade in Capablanca. It seems strange that the difference goes down. Based on GM games in normal Chess, the B-N difference increases as more Pawns disappear (as one would expect towards the end-game), exact equality occurring if each side has 5 Pawns.
