SMIRF still is not able to use other non conventional piece types despite of Chancellor (Centaur) or Archbishop (Archangel). You have to use other fine programs. Nevertheless the SMIRF value theory is able to calculate estimated piece exchange values.

Currently I am about to learn the basics of how to write a more mature SMIRF and GUI for the Mac OS X operating system. Thus it will need a serious amount of time and I hope not to lose motivation on this. Still I have some difficulties to understand some details of Cocoa programming using Xcode, because there are only few good books on that topic here in German language. We will see if this project will become ready ever.
