Interesting convergence: it is because, long ago, I was intrigued by the GH move, that we call now T, that I also thought that alone it was almost useless. Then, I add the pawn's move to it in the same manner that you add the King's. And I called it the Troll, which, coincidently is a word starting with a T. At that time the T was not existing in Betza's notation.

To continue telling my life (if anyone cares...), in my experiments (with Zillions for example), I also used a KGH (now KT). I called it a Countess. Mainly because it was less powerful than the Duchess which is KADGH (or KST now) on my planet.

And for the ADGH (now ST), I finally adopted Musketeer's Hawk which has no relation at all with the other pieces, but is rather well fitting with that flying move.
