All 96 F.R.C. arrays should and will have a name. Finishing the 18 Knight-centralized ones are 12 new ones below. Left to tag systematically are 18 Bishop-centalized ones, 18 Rook-centralized ones, 18 Falcon-centralized ones, and only half of the regular-type 24 King/Queen-centralized ones since half of them are already named. (18 + 18 + 18 + 18 + 24) = the 96. The disparity is that King-Queen are not interesting cornered and so always to be omitted. RFQBNNBKFR Natty Knight, RBQFNNFKBR Nettly Knight, FRQBNNBKRF Kneed Knight, FBQRNNRKBF Tan Knight, BRQFNNFKRB Gnat Knight, BFQRNNRKFB Tin Knight, RQFBNNBFKR Knit Knight, RQBFNNFBKR Teen Knight, FQRBNNBRKF Dyne Knight, FQBRNNRBKF Newton Knight, BQRFNNFRKB Dune Knight, BQFRNNRFKB Node Knight. Added to Nutty, Naughty, Knotty, Neato, Needy, and Nighty-Knight, that is all the cases for Knights at e- and f-. Uses are several, besides random selection, such as one per year for a century, or one per decade starting 2040 to year 2999, or 2 per week of any given year and a bye-month off resettling the cycle.
