Given the discussions that have happened lately I'll use the value 3000 for the value of the king's move as required for the implementation for the value of the fool (and yes it's still fool, but you may use the word jester if you feel it to be more appropriate). It means exactly 3.75 pawns. An apothecary pawn in chessV is now 800. It may be a bit too much though. On a 10x10 board the usefulness of a king move depends a lot on how for from the action the piece (in our case the fool) is.
