I describe how a piece value theory might be developed without statistics. Since one P or R ahead generically wins, set them to the same value. Now this does not work in P against R; so set the value higher than P. Then continue this process in order to refine it, comparing different endings that may appear in play, taking away special cases, always with respect to tournament practice, using postmortem game analysis.
