Default How much is a knight worth?

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?



As I understand, the value is different based on the understanding of
the weaker player. Rather than just raw difference.

However, there has been vsrioud odds matched between strong GM's and
Rybka in the past year, and there has been some discussion about them on
Rybka's (www.rybkachess.com) website.
