Thanks! This is so useful!

All pieces including pawns are taken into account. The midgame adjustment is proportional to the sum of the midgame values of all the opponent's pieces divided by the number of pieces. The endgame adjustment is proportional to the sum of the endgame values of the opponent's pieces divided by the number of pieces. So the Joker winds up being worth about one pawn more than the average piece value.

And by the way Greg, I have decided to remove the rule that there shouldn't be more than one joker for a player on the board. It happened once, and in the endgame, when this happens it was not as game breaking as I thought!

This is one of the strangest variants I have ever seen. It is also one of the rare variants where friendly capture plays an important role.

Does the joker evaluation include all pieces or all piece types? How are pawn taken into account?

I moved the Interactive Diagram into the article, after changing its appearance to the original style. I hid the ascii board for those that have JavaScript on; the Diagram had to be larger than the original static image in order to use the Eurasian .gif pieces.
