I've gone through and looked, and while the pieces look like great additions to the collection, the only one with a name that's not already in use somewhere is the Maiden, which does seem like a good alternate name for the Lady in Waiting -- and 3 spaces seems like a reasonable reduction from 4 on a small board like Chafe uses.

The Unicorn, Bear, Tiger, and Elephant could be preceded by something "Baby," "Lesser," or "Little" (since these are mainly smaller-move pieces than their namesakes, depending on what kind of Elephant you're using), especially if something can be figured out for the B4WN (Buffalo, perhaps?).

I hadn't really thought that much about short-by-one pieces before now... and now I'm thinking about short-by-slide and short-by-ride possibilities. Those can wait, though....
