Jeremy: Many thanks for the quick posting and quick pre-set creation.  It
is much appreciated.  I do have 2 simple change requests.
1) change the 'a' through 'l' coordinates to:
x z a b c d e f g h i j
This syncronizes the 8x8 coordinates to FIDE boards and so is nicer for
game notation.
2) Make 2 more squares, some light color ... For example: one at the
current 'A8' (which would be new 'x8' and one at current 'L1' (which
would be new 'i1')

These 2 new squares would show what each Cannon was loaded with.  When a
player of black loads a Cannon he (or she) could now play x6-x8 (for
example).  A player of white could play something like i3-i1 to load a
Cannon.

Again, many thanks.
