Hi H.G.
I know I've estimated the value of a champion on 8x8 in the past, and I recall it worked out to be close to a rook for me. On 10x10 I rate the wazir and A, D components of it to be of considerably less worth (than on 8x8), which accounts for the lower estimate I got for the Champion on 10x10 compared to on 8x8 (it'd be a similar story for FADs and Wizards, I'd suppose). However, my methods of estimating are admittedly based on primative ways of calculating e.g. net values for compound pieces.
