Oh yes, you can read many things on the net. Especially nonsense is extremely abundant... <p> The point is that I don't have to <i>estimate</i> the value of most of these pieces: I have <i>measured</i> them. And guessing, no matter how educated, which is the only source of information behind anything you wil read about values of unorthodox elsewhere on the net, is just no substitue for accurate measurement. <p> Fact is that if you play the FIDE start position where for one side you substituted the Queen for an Archbishop between equally strong opponent's, the Queen wins less often than when it had been granted Pawn odds. If the side with the Queen gets its f-Pawn deleted, the side with the Archbishop will beat him more often than not. <p> Another observarion is that in an end-game with many Pawns a single Archbishop beats Rook + Knight + extra Pawn more often than not.
