I'm thinking about the values of pieces for a chess program. I have investigated some engines and the values they give to pieces vary. Some examples are: ENGINE knight bishop rook queen Faile 1.4.4 3.1 3.25 5 9 Amy-0.8.4 3.5 3.5 5.5 11 Crafty-19.4, 3 3 5 9 Beowulf-2.2 3.2 3.25 5 9.3 (defult personality) I have to give values for my program and, as I'm not a strong chessplayer I would like to know your opinion. Are these differences important? What values should be assigned for the highest strength?. The same could be applied to score bonuses, but the list is too large. :-) Thanks Toni
