In the following is what I did for images and names for this game. I had tried a diagram representation. Unfortunately the 50x50 pixels of the images need to be split in a 9x9 grid leaving little room for things to happen in one grid cell. That is because the longest path mover moves 43&41 and some bent riders bend after the 3rd step. The excepting for that is the joker. The joker is represented by a big J. That got me thinking about making instead images with 2 letters from the English alphabet. What do you think about this? Also if you have any suggestion on how to improve the images I'm listening gladly. I am not talented at this nor imaginative.

 Just the bishop.

 The rook.

 The queen.

 The king.

 The pawn.

 The berolina.

The knightrider.

 The chinesse cannon.

 The joker(imitator).

The vulture (a 41&43  falcon).

 The knight of this game(NmL).

 The warlock (WZ).

 The lyon (FDH).

 The osprey bent rider that jumps as a dabbabah and then moves towards outside like a bishop.

Valkyrae-  Vulture and bishop compound

 The unicorn (BNN).

 The Varan (RNN).

The mortar (RpcRF)

Thanks for reading all this! I await your reactions.
