Hello Sune, You had some interesting insights and made some nice points. One I would like to address.. > >To say that a rook is worth more than two knights because a rook can mate and >two knights cannot isn't right, two knights are worth a lot more on the average. > Indeed, the point was to show that the weights for the pieces should really adjust as the game progresses. On his website his other values are static and unchanging, even with the disclaimer that the equations may work for all three phases of the game (opening, middlegame, and endgame.) In the opening and middlegame, the knight pair is more valued, but in the endgame, clearly this is not the case.
