Man and Beast 02: Shield Bearers. Systematic naming of divergent coprime radial pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Strong Pawns along with ones found here in Shield Bearers include: (1) Centennial quadra-Pawns called Steward. Gilman's Shield Bearers does discuss this type in the paragraph beginning ''promotability.'' (2) Ninja Pawns of such as Wreckage and Venomous (3) Cannon Pawns of Rococo (4) new MaoJu pawns of LiQi. Which of those four are strongest in value in most piece mixes and sizes? It is not always considered that piece and Pawn values depend on their milieu, but usually there are clear trends, when spotting a pawn-type across row two of number of differing back-rank arrays, for comparisons. So, here only one of the above four can be said, by and large, most often to be clearly upwards of 2.5 points. Which one is so worth more than the other three?
