Shield Bearers. A systematic set of names for pawnlike pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Following correspondence on the companion article Constitutional Characters I have realised that there is a board on which Glinsky's Pawnlike piece and the standard Pawn could coexist: a 3d board of hex-prism cells, with forward being a hex orthogonal. Perhaps Glinsky's piece might be called a Migrant, as Glinsky himself was born in Poland but made his reputation in London. Thus the Wellisch, Glinsky, and McCooey extrapolations of the Pawn to hex boards would readily be distinguishable as Point, Migrant, and Broker.
