One area where improvement is needed: Zillions overvalues choice of pawn promotion. Clearly a FIDE pawn is worth more than a pawn which can only promote to Queen--but equally clearly the difference is small. Zillions rates a pawn at around 1850 in FIDE chess or in Chess with Different Armies when both players are using the same army (in either case a pawn would have four promotion choices). But in CWDA with each player using a different army, Zillions rates the pawn at around 2500. This can only be due to having eight promotion options intstead of four. Clearly, a pawn with eight possible promotions in more valuable than a pawn with four, but equally clearly the difference is nowhere near the 35% that Zillions thinks.
