Has any extensive research been done into how values change when the board
is expanded to 10x10?

1) How much weaker do the stepper atoms become?
2) Does the ratio of power between rooks, bishops and knightriders
change?
If so, which pieces become weaker and which become stronger, and by how
much?
3) How much is a 3,1 rider or 3,2 rider worth?
