 Subject: pawn values
Message:
On the internet I found the following values for pawns on the 2nd rank in the opening:
Rook pawns: 0.90 Knight pawns: 0.95 Bishop pawns: 1.05 central pawns: 1.10.
Is this correct?

Message:
The actual value of any piece or pawn will vary throughout the course of play and depends upon its position on the board relative to the position of all other units on the board. The values presented in most books are fairly straight-forward and designed to provide dumb joes like me a simplistic means of evaluating positions and potential continuations and/or exchanges.

There may be some sense in these values if you are a computer. the values placed on pieces are only rough guidelines and the effort in dealing with fractions does not seem worth the effort.

...and of course on the 8th rank they are worth 9 points!
