@JohnHS, it’s been a few days. You still with me?
Oh, sorry. I forgot over the weekend. How much do you estimate a Witch to be worth?
27. ... h6
28. ... g5
Guards=4/5 basically a king in the endgame, I think can mate w/ king really defensive, can defend mighty attacks
Witch=6/7 since she can tactically improve development and can fuel a strong attack after making pawns transparent
Yes... well from my perspective
...of course the witch's power is diminished in the endgame when there are less pieces to make transparent
I would put a guard at about three (which is how J. Silman evaluates kings) and a witch at maaaybe four, though it's very malleable based on the position.

I feel, like @vickalan, that the witch is about 5, or a rook. But, of course, it diminishes in the endgame.

You may be right about the witch, though personally I think Rooks are stronger.

The witch's ability to boost development/ create a fast attack/agility is great! I'm going to devise a witch opening AND DESTROY YOU ALL!!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!!!
