Piece Values[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Muller:

Please have another look at this except from my 'winboard.ini' file. 
There are standard and special versions of piece values by Muller,
Scharnagl & Nalls for the white and black players renormalized to pawn =
85 points.

The special version of the Muller model has a rook value exactly 85 points
or 1.00 pawn higher than the standard version.

The special version of the Scharnagl model has an archbishop value (736
points) at appr. 95% of the archbishop value (775 points) instead of 597
points at appr. 77% for the standard version.

The special version of the Nalls model is identical to the standard
version until some test is needed and planned.

Since I assume that the 'bishop pairs bonus' is hardwired into Joker80,
40 points has been subtracted from the model-independant, material values
of the bishop under all three models.  Is this correct?
