International chess has a rule of thumb values of the chess pieces. Like
Knight and Bishops are equal to 3 pawns, Rooks are about 5 worth. Queen is
worth 9 etc.
Korean chess has some references like the Elephant(Sang) is worth 2 pawns
(Jol) or one guard (Sa). Anyone know what the Cha,Po,Ma,Sang are worth in
comparison values ?
