Knights have been evaulated as 3 points. A rating difference of 100

much is a knight worth in rating points? And the other pieces?

If a player is 100 points higher should he be able to win with a
(pawn, 2 pawns, knight, etc.) advantage?


The answers to all question like this is "it depends on the position."

To take the simplest of examples, if am up a single pawn, in a K+P vs.
K position, I can win against *anybody* in the world (regardless of
who is rated higher or by how much) in some positions, and be unable
to win against almost anybody in other positions.
