Endmate was originally going to be named Deadendmate. But I shortened it to Endmate because it was too long, but I don't really like this name. So I renamed it to Campmate

Haut and Damour are derived from the instrument's name, 'Hautbois Damour (Oboe Damore)'. Haut and Damour correspond to Shogi's Horse and Dragon respectively, but the problem is that the icon corresponding to Horse is Ram, and the icon corresponding to Dragon is Tiger. The reason why the Horse icon was chosen as Ram was because the other name of Horse was Missonary (Because Jesus is portrayed as a sheep)

If you ask if there is a reason why the pieces are named as instruments, it was because that was the word corresponding to the initials of H and D. No big reason other than that

The reason I use Angel instead of Amazon is because I think Angel is more suitable for religious names like Bishop and Cardinal

In the Fairy chess piece Wiki, the Betza RNF piece is also called Heroine, but also called Ship. I took note of this

In the case of Templar, I changed the name to 'Teut' because I thought it was a reasonable point (Teut = Teutonic Order)

Thanks for kind reply !
