A method of hand evaluation which places a numeric value on the strength of a hand, used as a guideline in bidding.
A method used by card counters to calculate the net value in the end of a hand.
A system of figuring out the worth of the pieces by giving each of them a numerical value. King--priceless; Queen--9 points; Rook--5 points; Bishop--3 points; Knight--3 points; pawn--1 point. The flaw in the system is that it does not take into account other factors (such as position, tactics, etc.) that often drastically change the relative value of an individual piece.
a method of hand valuation in which numerical values (points) are assigned to various features of a hand.
The end of a hand where all of the card point values are added up.
A way of determining the worth of the pieces by assigning them a numerical value. Typically the queen is worth 9 points, rooks 5 points, bishops 3 or 3.25 points (depending on who you talk to), knights 3 points and pawns 1 point. A higher point count denotes material superiority.
At the end of each hand, the point count is the net value of the cards played.
A system that gives the pieces the following numeric values: King= priceless; Queen= 9 points; Rook= 5 points; Bishop= 3 points; Knight= 3 points; and Pawn= 1 point.
