    let's say we have a rook + minor piece + two pawns + king vs. king + minor piece + rook plus two pawns
    assume that no pawns are passed or connected or anything special...
    just a typical endgame...
    i'm not asking which side wins, because it is in fact a draw (depending on piece position, of course)
    but let's say one side had a slight advantage, perhaps their pawns were connected, and one were passed...
    with the scale pawn= 1, minor piece = 3. rook = 5...
    relatively how much is a king worth in such endgame positions where one side does have an advantage such as a passed connected pawn, where material is still equal...?

    I'm not sure... but the king is worth somewhere in the region of 8,945,714,512.004 according to Fritz.

    When mating attacks aren't in the offing it's said a King is worth more than a minor piece and less than a rook. Some have suggested a nice round 4.
