The infeasibility of using different armies to calculate piece values
To Derek Nalls and H.G.M.:
Nearly everyone - so I think - will agree, that inside a CRC piece set the value of an Archbishop is greater than the sum of the values of Knight and Bishop, and even greater than two Knight values. Nevertheless, if you have following different armies playing against each other:
[FEN 'nnnn1knnnn/pppppppppp/10/10/10/10/PPPPPPPPPP/A1A2K1A1A w - - 0 1']
then you will get a big surprise, because those 'weaker' Knights will be going to win.
There are a lot of new and unsolved problems, when trying to calculating piece values inside of different armies, including the playability of a special piece type, e.g. regarding the chances to cover it by any other weaker one.
