Applying (quickly) the SMIRF method of calculating the exchange values of chess pieces, I found some estimations, which differ from those published by Ed Trice, especially for traditional pieces. Piece SMIRF Vortex --------------------------- Pawn 1.00 1.00 Knight 3.06 2.50 (!) Bishop 3.60 3.00 (!) King 3.72 ---- Rook 5.43 4.75 (!) Archbishop 6.65 6.50 Chancellor 8.49 8.25 Queen 9.03 8.75 See also at [http://www.rescon.de/Compu/schachveri1_e.html] and before. It for shure would be interesting, when Vortex would be compiled a second time using SMIRF values and compete with the original version. So it might be possible to check out, which piece values would be more usable estimated. Obviously Ed will believe in his figures, I in mine. Are there third values calculated by other models? This would be very interesting! Regards, Reinhard.
