I learned that a Knight  equal 3 Pawns and a Bishop 3.25 Pawns
a rook equal  5 pawns  and I do not understand
why you give the pawns a low value.
The value of the pawns changes when it get forward
and maybe this is the reason.
in this case you should say pawn that did not move equal 100
and the question is what about pawn that moved(what is its value).

I think in blitz the knight should have an higher value.
