Rigorous analysis may not be necessary if someone already knows what the
value is. Each p/v is targeted +/- 0.25 as stated. I have played over 200
live games at Brainking and over 200 at Game Courier excluding FRC and
OrthoChess. One gets to know whether to trade a Half-Duck for a Rook, a
Kangaroo for a Platypus etc. That trade-off method alone is a solitary test. Then
there are 25 more or less rigorous tests, separate from experience and
short of Computer runs. Jeremy L. should please start a separate thread on
his way of getting to 'For the Crown' values. Here I intend to list the 25
tests of value, just some few Betzan. 
This thread is going to be long enough by the time there are 2000 Sovereign
piece-types without side-topics.  Soon to add to Tables are 40 more
Bifurcators, rest of Martian Chess p-ts, all the Nightriders, Problem-Theme
threads compound leapers, rest of Outback Chess p-ts. If 'For the Crown'
has some suitable for regular rectangles 64-144, they should be added here with Sovereign values or
attributed if borrowed from pre-existing CV. Back-ups more comprehensive
will be Truelove's and Gilman's compendiums.  Three or four Tables a week
yield 50 p-ts a week, that will be the 2000 piece-types undergoing
Sovereign analysis this year, or over 2012-13 anyway.  These last few
comments are filler of background and basis, for the main emphasis will be
pure Tables.  If anyone sees a value out of line, please call to attention. Obviously it is easy to study one particular embodiment, such as 6-piece-type OrthoChess and settle confidently on values less than 0.1 off useful practice. They of OrthoChess ridiculously do not even re-compute yet for different Fischer Random line-ups. The Sovereign p-t development is more rigorous both for being more extendable and for being bi-partite with Mate#s to go with the refinable Piece Values.
