I don't see the relevance of the previous two posts on this topic to piece values. But I'll play.
I think today's AI's should be implemented to be sligtly more general so that they'll play variants. Not very fancy ones, but have knowledge of at least bent riders and hopers over the more easy to program Capablanca pieces. Those could help variant design a lot. That especially when dealing with different armies variants where concepts of piece values are crucial.
@HG,
7N vs 3Q is an extreme case even for variants. I once said that piece values formulas should be multidimentional, at least partially (they are fed in a one value position evaluation, but still). NN do exactly that inherently. Anyway some levelling effect should be somehow taken in the consideration, as your 7N vs 3Q shows, as the leveling effect is something here along with the unorthodox defence between the 7N.
