I started testing cbPiecesFromFEN with grand chess to get a 10x10 example. It worked like a charm. I was able to reuse the existing method for promotion. I'm going to do a test on a 12x12 variant: wild babur to be able to leave a code example. I'll have a chance to test addPiece.

I think the addition of a prince would be interesting for MakePiece in the fairy-move-model.

For the move : man + pawn, as we might fast move on large chessboards (>10*10).

For visualization, we'll have a choice between fr-prince, fr-admiral and fr-man. I know that fr-prince doesn't get unanimous approval. For my part, I can get used to all three.

Note that michel will be leaving for several months from 15/01, it might be a good idea to send him a partial merge request containing the variants ready beforehand to give him time to integrate them (elven ...). We'll be able to uncomment the rest afterwards for a smaller 2nd pull request.

He's understood the value of fairy-move-model and I think he'll be following it closely, even from a distance.
