how much is witch and guard?
The value of the guard has been discussed a lot, and I think the best estimate is its value is very close to that of a bishop, or about 3.0 or 3.1 points (and bishop worth just slightly more than a knight).
There's an interesting formula (here) by HGMuller for pieces which jump, which can be used for the guard (it jumps to the adjacent 8 squares), which also puts its value around 3.1 points.

Observers should not normally comment on games in progress, but I will make a simple observation that if a witch is worth 7 (which is probably close), then Black is behind by only two points. That's usually not enough to ensure a win.

Thanks 1400136896 for the picture and thanks friedmelon for the graphics! Games are more fun when there is an audience.
Go Horus! Go Superman!
