Hear Hear, Joe Joyce,

I guess I will throw my first two cents in on the question of the piece
value quanta question. I think the smallest difference on 8x8 board, is
about a third of a pawn or about a tenth of a knight. The larger the board
the smaller the quanta, I believe. Maybe by 12x16, the quanta may be as
large as a pawn, or more. The problem as alluded before in the other
thread is how to empirically test such things.
