Value of pieces[Subject Thread] [Add Response]
JT K wrote on Sat, Oct 7, 2017 08:36 PM UTC:

A question for experienced chess software programmers: how do you go about assigning value for a new or unexplored piece?  Is there a way to have the engine play itself, assuming different values, to see which values lead to fair games, or do you have to enter your own best guess for non-standard pieces?

Another question: how do you determine the value of the standard chess pieces if the variant has different rules?
