93. Dove. In his game Dovecote Chess, Lev Grigoriev gives us this piece, with a quite interesting combination of moves.

The Dove moves one space forward diagonally; leaps two or three spaces directly forward or backward; leaps three spaces diagonally forward; leaps two spaces diagonally backward; or makes (1,2) leaps sideways and backward. (vDvHfGbAbsN)

For a symbol of peace, that's one mean bird! Lev uses it for a Queen in his game, and it could also be an interesting Queen stand-in for a CWDA army.
