A Taxonomy. Categorizing several types of pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Btw while making my ChessBreakTimes (not now doing so due to several reasons) I have distinguished different types of compounds, because categorizing was needed to not ruin chess-based RPG. So I named them Mix (different types of movement; note steppers and leapers as different classes in my game) and Hybrid (compound of already existing pieces; note that not all pieces were included in system). For example, Modern Elephant wasn’t a hybrid because there was no Alfil due to its weakness as RPG personage while Ferz and Elephant had some potential at least among other weak pieces; mix also was Squirrel due to absence of Alibaba in the game. And pieces like Raven (fsWbFbAfD) were mix; in general, if hybrid is added to game in update but one of his parts is missing in personages’ list, this hybrid is mix. However, now I understand that mix category would be better called hybrid, latter should be renamed to compound, and you will probably learn well from my mistakes)
