To go with the current point values for Grand Chess by 'T', and attempted revision at Centennial recently 25 back and with comparison of Michael Nelson's and mine for Rococo recently 50 back, this chart was for Ultima 8 years ago without computer: UltimaValues. All of Rococo, Ultima and Grand Chess should be on all-time recognition list, even if only U. ultimately gets played much, as it was in sixties and seventies. Robert Abbott invented Ultima 50 years ago this fall and he comments at Rococo January 2004. In Ultima Immobilizer may earn 3.0 points over Long Leaper on account of the smaller board.
