A question for experienced chess software programmers: how do you go about assigning value for a new or unexplored piece? Is there a way to have the engine play itself, assuming different values, to see which values lead to fair games, or do you have to enter your own best guess for non-standard pieces?
Another question: how do you determine the value of the standard chess pieces if the variant has different rules?
