Hello Ed, thank you for testing!

I think, the average piece exchange values have less importance as the game
develops and the positional detail evaluation becomes more important. The more
precise the latter would be, the more the influence of average piece values will
vanish. Or - the other side - the simpler a written chess program is, the more
those exchange values will have importance. Therefore it would be not bad to
know, which values will match best, and that could be figures different from
yours and mine.

Regards, Reinhard,
