Most of the pieces in Cavalier Chess are currently being represented by substitute images in the Jocly version of the game. The Cavalier King (or Eques Rex) is currently represented by a King instead of a piece combining the King with a Knight. Some kind of mounted King or crowned horse head might be appropriate for this piece. It would also be useful to have this for Fusion Chess, where a player could have either a King or a Cavalier King. The Nightrider is represented by a Unicorn instead of a dedicated Nightrider image. A masked person riding a horse would be appropriate. Or maybe some variation on 2D images for the piece, such as a horse head with a more flowing mane or a masked horse head. The Marshall and Paladin are using the Camaratta designs for Chancellor and Archbishop, but I would like to use images that show the compound nature of the pieces better, such as a horse head on an inverted Rook for the Marshall and some kind of mounted Bishop or religiously decorated horse head for the Paladin. The Cavaliers are represented by Knight images. This works in a game without any actual Knights, but it would be good to have somewhat different images for these pieces in a game that might include both.
