The points work like this. Pawn = 2 to buy back Knight = 6 to buy back Bishop = 6 to buy back Rook = 10 to buy back Queen = 18 to buy back King = 51 to buy back

ok ok the king cant be bought back but still. Its basicly the worth of the piece double.

How much does each type of unit cost to buy back? How about to ransom?
