I see low ranked players playing Alkhines and hypermodern style. They get into more trouble then if they stuck to classical. All that fienchetto stuff I leave to the GMs. Also, bishops are half a point better then knights. However, when I play a beginner, I value my knights more as they are more confusing.

They always say,play the board not your opponent. I disagee!

Do what you know best and try to win. Usually when I play beginners, I just exchange pieces and play endgame. Usually works...

King =infinite, lose the king lose the game.

Queen= 9

Rook= 5

Bishop= 3.5 (Bishops control more space then knights and the advantage of the two bishops is more then 2 knights.

Knight = 3

Pawn= 1

Of course those are only general values. For example a knight is worth more then a queen if it checkmates.

I agee with the grandmasters that bishops are slightly more valuable then knights.

Bishops are better than knights when you are a queen up as well.
