Thanks! This is so useful!
All pieces including pawns are taken into account. The midgame adjustment is proportional to the sum of the midgame values of all the opponent's pieces divided by the number of pieces. The endgame adjustment is proportional to the sum of the endgame values of the opponent's pieces divided by the number of pieces. So the Joker winds up being worth about one pawn more than the average piece value.
And by the way Greg, I have decided to remove the rule that there shouldn't be more than one joker for a player on the board. It happened once, and in the endgame, when this happens it was not as game breaking as I thought!

Does the joker evaluation include all pieces or all piece types? How are pawn taken into account?
