what's the value of a king?
#1
A pawn can move and capture towards 1 or 2 squares.
A knight can move and capture towards 2 to 8 squares.
A bishop can move and capture towards 7 to 13 squares.
A rook can move and capture towards 14 squares.
A queen can move and capture towards 21 to 27 squares.
A king can move and capture towards 3 to 8 squares.
Thus the value of a king would be about 3 if it were not infinite.
In a game of points, it's worth 3 points, like the knight, but bishops are also worth 5 in games of points. So, if I had to assign a value to the king, it would be 3 points, but it could be any value. 100 points would make it less valuable than every other piece combined if all pawns promoted to queens, though.
its worth 69420
I wonder which would be more valuable: That king or an entire 14x14 board of amazons, one royal, with an x6 opposite multiplier, and +40 points for mate.
The king can't have a prize because it can't be captured.
Technically check mate captures the king, the king has nowhere to go and is attacked by a piece
Like if a pawn is 1 and knights and bishops are about 3 and rooks are 5 and the queen is 9 what value does the king have?
Not as in his importance to the game then it would be infinite because no king means no game I just mean the value of his movement if it wasn't a king.
Basically a pawn that can't promote and can move to all adjacent squares.
