Deeper Understanding of 10x8 piece values



I think pieces value more-or-less is like this:
Pawn ... 1
Knight ... 2.5
Bishop ... 3
Rook ... 5
Archbishop ... 6.5
Chancellor ... 8.5
Queen ... 9
Edit: Is it correct?

So maybe like this:
- Pawn ... 1
- Knight ... 3
- Bishop ... 3
- Rook ... 5
- Archbishop ... 7
- Chancellor ... 9
- Queen ... 9

- Pawn ... 1
- Knight ... 3
- Bishop ... 3.5
- Rook ... 5.5
- Archbishop ... 7.5
- Chancellor ... 8.5
- Queen ... 10

I feel you are right Bishop_e3, except maybe for the Chancellor which deserves 1 point more imho.
It's somehow natural to assign +1 to any compounds: Archbishop = Knight + Bishop +1, Queen = Bishop + Rook +1, so also Chancellor = Knight + Rook +1. I mean, it's not a rule but it seems to work. Riccuadra even see Chancellor equal to a Queen, well 9.5 v 10 probably is fine, they are almost equal.

I based my opinion not only on the way a piece moves --
I considered the expanded range of the piece (wider board).
I might consider raising the value of the Bishop to 4
and the Chancellor to 9.
I don't think the wider board does anything to increase the value of pawns and knights.
At the start of a Gothic chess game I favor an Archbishop over a Chancellor almost always.

Question for you all: do you think pawns are worth more/stronger in 8x8 chess or in Trice's Chess? (Regardless of your answer, 1.0 points in the former will not be the same as 1.0 in the latter.)

I would say worth more and stronger because there are two additional pieces in Gothic Chess that a pawn can threaten/take.*
Pawns can also promote to 2 more additional pieces. (Is that correct?)
Gothic pawn value = 1.5
Food for thought.
*Obviously I have reconsidered my opinion about pawns since my last post

This question gets asked a lot. I don't have an answer. We should ask the players with the most experience what they use.
