Ralph Betza started off his first article with '... a Halfling Knight is exactly the same as a normal Knight.' So any statement about halfling piece values he made presumably refers only to halfling pieces which move to about half as many squares as the original piece. <p>You almost need a lawyer to deal with the subject of halfling pieces. Just look at Eric Greenwood's Cavalier, a piece designed to have multiple paths to each square it attacks. I guess that the Halfling Cavalier can always make its nonleaping Knight moves. And these would be the only moves allowed from a central square on an 8x8 board.
