How Much Material Advantage Can You Have?

     Hello! This blog is going to be short, but I was just curious - how many points can you have in a chess game? So I did an experiment and found out! Here's the piece values to start >

Queen - 9 points

Rook - 5 points

Knight/bishop - 3 points

Pawn - 1 point

King - No points, or infinite ; )

This is how many points you could ever be above your opponent: 

If you can't read that because of my background (which I can't XD) It says 103. 

In conclusion of this short blog, the most points you could ever be above your opponent is 103, not counting variants.
