Value of pieces[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

One thing that boggles my mind about the computer study value found for an archbishop (e.g. on an 8x8 board) is that I recall it is very close to the one found for a chancellor's value (as it is to a queen's value)... yet add a rook's movement ability to an archbishop and you will have an amazon piece type, while adding a mere bishop's movement ability to a chancellor also produces an amazon piece type. Somehow this all seems strange to me.
