Hello.
I do not understand the second third of the "Hans Berliner's system" section of the Wikipedia article "Chess piece relative value":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_piece_relative_value#Hans_Berliner.27s_system
Could you explain me precisely how much is each pawn worth?
Extra question:
On the following diagram, how much would the e4 pawn be worth? I only need an approximation. (You can imagine that it is a late middlegame with also two or three pieces for each side, plus one King for each side.)
And what if it was on e3 instead?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

There are different types of doubled pawns; see the diagram. White's doubled pawns on the b-file are the best situation in the diagram, since advancing the pawns and exchanging can get them un-doubled and mobile. The doubled b-pawn is worth 0.75 points. If the black pawn on a6 were on c6, it would not be possible to dissolve the doubled pawn, and it would be worth only 0.5 points. The doubled pawn on f2 is worth about 0.5 points. The second white pawn on the h-file is worth only 0.33 points, and additional pawns on the file would be worth only 0.2 points (Berliner 1999:18–20).

White's doubled pawns on the b-file are the best situation in the diagram, since advancing the pawns and exchanging can get them un-doubled and mobile. The doubled b-pawn is worth 0.75 points.Are both the b2 pawn and the c3 pawn worth 0.75 each? Or is the b2 pawn worth 1 and the b3 pawn worth 0.75? Or is the b2 pawn worth 0.75 and the b3 pawn worth 1?
If the black pawn on a6 were on c6, it would not be possible to dissolve the doubled pawn, and it would be worth only 0.5 points.Are both the b2 pawn and the c3 pawn worth 0.5 each? Or is the b2 pawn worth 1 and the b3 pawn worth 0.5? Or is the b2 pawn worth 0.5 and the b3 pawn worth 1?

[...] If the black pawn on a6 were on c6, it would not be possible to dissolve the doubled pawn.I didn't quiet understand that. Could you show me this concretely with moves?
The doubled pawn on f2 is worth about 0.5 points.And how much is the f3 pawn worth? Is the f2 pawn considered as an isolated exchangeable pawn or as an isolated inexangeable pawn?
The second white pawn on the h-file is worth only 0.33 pointsSo the h3 pawn is worth 0.33. But how much is the h2 pawn worth?
