However, both Marshal(l) and Chancellor where in use long before
problemests discovered these pieces. It seems to me if you're
going to talk precedence, than Empress is a new-comer. In any
case, I don't see any reason why we should 'nudge' anyone toward
using 'standard' terms -- if a variant designer wants to have a
piece called a <b>Goshdak</b> that moves like a Rook or a Knight,
all I'd want is a note that the piece is more commonly called a
Marshal or a Chancellor. And yes, I wouldn't even mention Empress,
since among variant <u>players</u> that name is far less well
known.
