Hello Reinhard, Is there a link where I can see what a SMIRF is? (I am sure it is not one of those blue cartoon creatures.) I should point out that Gothic Vortex uses a sliding scale for the weights of the pieces now. The pawn population effects the piece values so that the Rook is less valued at the start of the game than the end. Also, the Archbishop gets weaker as pawns come off of the board. I agree, that testing the version of Vortex using the SMIRF would be very interesting. I will compile a version that uses your values with no variation from pawn values against mine weights that change with the pawn count and let you know what happens. Thanks for the interesting post! >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.
