Oh yes, this is a great addition for so many reasons...  Thanks!  I'm
especially pleased that pieces can now be represented by the correct
letters for the game, without requiring a proliferation of piece sets. 
The ability to use the plus-sign in the name for shogi pieces is a very
nice touch, too.

I would like to suggest something, though.  Right now, when moving a piece
you can either enter the piece type ('P e2-e4') or not ('e2-e4').  I
always do the former, because it makes it easier for me to keep track of
games.  Some opponenets do, some do not.  I would be nice if, when
entering a simple single-move, like 'e2-e4', it would automatically add
the 'P' or 'p'.  

Thanks for the consideration.  You have done a lot of good work on
improving the Game code recently!  I need to get to work on presets using
the new features for wildebeest chess, lions & unicorns chess, and others.
