Hi Mats, I have calculated the average exchange value for the 10x8 board
Mammoth using my approach. Then a Mammoth with 5.4198 compared to a Rook
with 5.8148 seems to be about 1/2 Pawn unit weaker. Additionally I want to
mention, that when exchanging pieces not only their average piece value
will vanish from the board, but also their positional influence. Thus it
is quite often when exchanging Knights with Bishops, that a Knight will
have the bigger positional influence at the board thus making an exchange
nearly equal. But this does not hold for the whole game. Regards, Reinhard
Scharnagl.
P.S.: In my calculations I prosumed, that a mammoth has to slide to its two
distant targets, thus not jumping over pieces like a Knight.
