Man and Beast 20: Far From Square. Systematic naming of more complex hex-specific pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

What about Falcon-like pieces involving a Rumbaba or other HD component? Especially now that George Duke’s patent on these pieces has expired, so you’re free to make “Falkeschach”. (I also want to see more Rhino-like pieces that mix all 3 of Rookwise, Bishopwise, and Unicornwise steps (of course having a 3MD instead of an EMD); the first one of which has a Fortnightwise 3MD on a cubic board, and therefore could be called “Fortrhino”.)

My suggestion for the Chevron version of the Falcon would be Warlobird. (Which also allows a suffix for pieces mixing oblique moves like how the Falcon family mixes radial moves: for example, a Gnubird would mix Knight and Camel moves.)
