Hello everyone!

As David wrote, I plan to include more chess pieces in future versions of
my font Quivira. In order to do that sensefully, I need some input
 · what characters are useful at all
 · which ones are most important (I probably won’t be able to do all at
once, so I’ll have to set priorities)
 · how to group / order them sensefully.

At the moment, I tend to define two new blocks:
Chess Symbols Extended-A with rotated and/or combined pieces
Chess Symbols Extended-B with all the rest.

Which pieces are needed in a rotated or mirrored variant? Does this
distinction make sense at all?

In a comment on the Quivira page, Charles Gilman mentioned knighted and
camelled pieces. Which pieces can be combined in such a way?

Kind regards,
Alexander Lange
