The feasibility of using identical armies to calculate piece values
It has been a long time since our sets of CRC piece values have played one
another (on my dual 2.4 Ghz CPU server) using otherwise-identical versions
of SMIRF. Obviously, the reason is that it has been a long time since
there existed a large disparity within our material values for any one of
the CRC pieces. Recently, that has changed in the case of the
archbishop.
I already have the standard version of SMIRF MS-174b-O which uses
Scharnagl CRC piece values. Would you be willing to compile a special
version of SMIRF MS-174b-O for me which uses Nalls CRC piece values?

Back on safe ground using 'symmetrical playtesting', the results of who
wins the test games should be indicative of who is using a better set of
CRC piece values.
