http://www.chessvariants.org/d.betza/pieceval/fig2key.html <p>gives P=7, E=8, G=12, N=21, R=35 after multiplying Betza's 'standard values' by 4. Compared to my comment three days ago, the Elephant and General now add up to almost the same value as a Knight. P=7 is an average pawn value - central pawns are worth much than a-file and h-file pawns.
