the elephant alfil plus dabbaba is actually 1/4 bound. and isn't the zebra and antelope weaker than the knight? they are more akward. how about a hopper category? lot's of these pieces come from works of lim ther peng or adrian king
I really like this! I'm taking a whack at a chess variant themed off a fiction series, and this really helps me figure out the value of the pieces for balance. However, two things I spotted that I think are errors - 'K' is being used as the symbol/abbreviation for both Knight and King; and the King (Radius 1) is valued at 20 in one spot then 30 in another. In addition, shouldn't the basic King be worth more? (3*4) for orthogonal, (2*4) for diagonal = 12+8=20... then (2*2)/4 for the castling move = 1... then (21*2)*5 for a Royal piece which can only be captured by checkmate. That's... [sheepishly pulls out calculator] 210. Very practical page - thanks for sharing it.
I really like this one! But there are some things that need clarifying. First off, how does the reproduction ability work? There's no explanation of that other than 'spawns pieces.' Also, is there any convention for pieces that can move in a particular direction, say 3 spaces, but ONLY that many spaces?
