As for my own experience, I have found that the Chancellor combines the Rook and
Knight motions less effectively that the Archbishop combines the Knight and
Bishop moves. So, I tend to downgrade the value of the Chancellor (in terms of
contemporary chess thinking) and upgrade the value of the Archbishop.

I am one to trade my Chancellor for the opponent Archbishop if I can keep the
game closed and the Archbishop's solo-checkmating power is better.

Just my own opinion :)
