Ultima. Game where each type of piece has a different capturing ability. Also called Baroque. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I doubt whether all those contingencies of position will be worked into a program, unless someone wants to buy another Deep Blue. Instead, it just goes 3-, 4-,5-ply, whatever, based on set of values, as I remember games programs. Those values are somewhat compromises and estimates, also for what move it is, 10th, 20th, 30th. In Falcon Chess, Falcon starts at 7 points, and falls below Rook's 5 by the time there are fewer than 10 pieces/pawns. It is important to normalize, if possible, Pawn to 1 for a values table, like in my Design Analyses, even if, like a Cannon Pawn, it is 1.5, or 1.8, if actually matched with standard P; all values are relative.
