The "worsen" is interesting. Did you come up with it yourself?

If you're talking about the piece name.

I actually was thinking about the move.

It's Jörg Knappen's.

Nice! Also logical. It's not in this game, of course (unless I'm missing something); do you have a link to where it is?

It's not in this game but is mentioned on this page. I included it as a piece that can only be obtained through promotions in my interactive diagram because it just felt right. Also pressing restart will shuffle the pieces since I'm not a fan of the starting position on this page.

Ah, I see it now -- the last paragraph under Notes.

Thanks! :)

HaruN Y rediscovered the 135-degree-rose recently and named it "Worsen"

I don't like this name, I suggest "Rose of Jericho" instead.

I intentionally gave it a name that sounds like a verb here for a pun.
