Stockfish(1): Chess Piece Values

What is the value of a queen, a bishop, or a knight in chess? There have been several attempts in the past, mainly in books to help assessing positions and taking a decision (e.g., when exchanging pieces). We’ll all agree that you should not give your queen for a pawn in general, but chess is full of subtlety and beauty! A Twitter thread nicely summarizes the different attempts. This nice Wikipedia article lists different proposals, including the article “Assessing Game Balance with AlphaZero: Exploring Alternative Rule Sets in Chess” from Deepmind and Vladimir Kramnik as co-author (funny affiliation: “World Chess Champion 2000–2007”). I have been intrigued to know how Stockfish (the strongest, open source chess engine) encodes and deals with chess piece values. So here we go, let’s dig into the source code and git repository!
