Thanks for your kind words. I'll add just a bit more to what I wrote:

I forgot to note that I've read somewhere on the net that it is the Chancellor that is approximately worth a Queen, while the Archbishop is worth about what I gave its value for. Perhaps someone else may chime in if you still do not concur.

The Amazon, I also read, has been estimated as low as 11 or 12 points, but perhaps this does not take into account it being on a larger board. In any case, I found it hard to believe that a queen and knight acting seperately are as effective as an Amazon in general. Compare that by analogy to asserting that a queen would be worth only a rook plus bishop on a standard chess board. Still, as I wrote I am new to fairy chess.
