It is easy enough to get value estimates for pieces with moves that are not in the table, since you can alter the moves that are in the table by default. Just type the Betza notation for the move you want in the text entry below the table, and then click the cell with the move of some piece that is in the table to give it that move.

There is just one caveat: you have to assign all the moves before you ever ask for the values by clicking the header of the move column, (or use the Diagram to play against), because it only calculates the values once, and is not aware that a move has changed. (Because in the normal function of the Diagram this cannot happen; Arguably this is a bug and I should make the code that assigns the new move, which is specific to the Play-Test Applet page, also recalculate the piece values.)
