Chess and Outwitters

[Necrocat219]

Quote:I always thought of valuing units in wits in the same way a bishop is worth approx 3 pawns in chess.

I've never done that, I've always made the direct comparison of turns + Position compared to wits. In an equal game of chess until someone blunders or gets outplayed nicely they both generally have the same material, give or take a pawn. However turns of each player affect the other right off the bat, and each player can play to make each piece's position worth less e.g. pinning the knight to the king early. In Outwitters my favorite moves by opponents is forcing them to move back because for each unit moved back that is 1 wit in favor of me.
