I still need to evaluate soon John Smith's answer to the one quiz question
he answered from the ten questions 3.September.2009. (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?
