Subject: Re: Castling lingo and notation in Embassy Chess

Walter Montego: S stand for 'Springer' in German. The Knight is a figurine of a horse because of Howard Staunton designing the piece that was in the 1840's. I have seen Minataur pieces online that have the head of a bull and they're total cool looking!

I say let Chancellor become Minataur, looking like a bull.
Let Archbishop become Centurion (or General), looking like a Roman soldier with a plume in his helmet.
