Peaceful Weighted Sudoku Chess Grid

To illustrate a valid solution, here is a first non-optimized at all solution of value 79

enter image description here

Let us fill a Peaceful Weighted Sudoku Grid with as many value thanks to Chess pieces with the following rules:

  • There must be a Black King in the grid not checkmated
  • There must be a White King in the grid not checkmated
  • There must be at least one Black Queen
  • There must be at least one White Queen
  • There must be at least two Black Rocks, Bishops and Knights
  • There must be at least two White, Rocky, Bishops and Knights
  • There must be at least 8 Black Pawns and 8 White Pawns

For each row, each column, each diagonal and each box:

  • There must be at most one Black Queen
  • There must be at most one White Queen

For each row, column and each box:

  • There must be at most 1 Black Rock
  • There must be at most 1 White Rock
  • There must be at most 1 Black Knight
  • There must be at most 1 White Knight
  • There must be at most 1 Black Bishop
  • There must be at most 1 White Bishop
  • There must be at least 1 Empty square
  • There must be at least 1 Black Pawns (and at most 8 Black Pawns)
  • There must be at least 1 White Pawns (and at most 8 White Pawns)

For each diagonal:

  • There must be at least 1 Empty square
  • There must be at most 1 Black Bishop
  • There must be at most 1 White Bishop

Everytime a Queen appears you score 8 points
Everytime a Rock appears you score 5 points
Everytime a Bishop appears you score 3.3 points
Everytime a Knight appears you score 2.7 points
Everytime a Pawn appears you score 1 point

What is the maximum score you are reaching? :D

Notes: there is no promotions for the pawns and you choose whether Blacks attack towards the north or if it is Whites :)
