At this site, there is listing of piece valuations by C. Posthoff:
Pawn 1.00
Knight 3.00
Bishop 3.00
King (100)
Rook 5.00
Queen 9.00
Now it is possible for one side to have:
9 Queens 9x9.00 = 81.00
2 Rooks 2x5.00 = 10.00
2 Bishops 2x3.00 = 6.00
2 Knights 2x3.00 = 6.00
Total = 103.00
Which means all these units are worth more than a King! :)
The practical importance of this is negligible, but in theory, the King ought be
worth more than 103.00 I would think.
