Subject: Value of the Pieces on 10x8 Board

I finally finished the page with the mathematical derivation of the piece values. Each step is explained in great detail. Take a look at:

for more information. I came up with these values for the approximate piece weights. Feel free to discuss this, argue with it, defend, attack, or modify these values as much as you want online here.

Pawn 1.00
Knight 2.50
Bishop 3.00
Rook 4.75
Archbishop 6.50
Chancellor 8.25
Queen 8.75
