Regarding HGMuller's data - very interesting!
The conclusion that on a 10x8 board a bishop is worth 400 (two on the board on opposite colors). If one is captured the lone bishop is still worth 350.
On a 10x8 board I previously learned a guard (non-royal king) is equal to a bishop (using Fairy-max simulations). This means that a guard is indeed significantly more valuable than a knight.
This exactly matches the tests I had done previously, except I never found actual values for the knight and bishop. I only learned that a guard is worth more than a knight and exactly the same as a bishop (using one value for a bishop which is applied throughout a game whether there is one or two).
