i have almost no experience coding zrfs, but i do look at zillions' values, and altho aronson is correct in saying it's generally difficult to tell what the right numbers should be, i have seen some cases where clearly the zillions values are wrong. the most extreme example was one they discussed on the yahoo board, where zillions considered betza's piece the ghost - which moves to any empty square on the board but never captures - worth something like 9 queens, when in fact betza considered it worth less than a pawn. the problem is that zillions gives too much value to how the piece moves w/o considering how it captures.
