Thank you, Peter.  I was also aware of the Chess with Different Knights
origin, but didn't even bother to go into it because I'm just so
disgusted that this page was ever posted with this piece name, and with
Charles Gilman listed as co-inventor.  Whichever editor posted this page
needs to slow down and apply more scrutiny, or just not post.  This piece
was *NOT* invented by Charles Gilman, and this page needs to be removed or
at least heavily revised.

Right now, almost everything on this website is very responsible and
historically acurate, but I fear a slippery slope, when anyone can submit
pages like this for the obvious purpose of promoting their own games,
naming, or ideas, and can write their submissions in third-person to make
it appear like an official judgement.  Fergus is exactly right when he
explains the problems with these recent Piecelopedia entries, and explains
Gilman's rational for doing so.

So what is next?  If an editor posts something he shouldn't, what
happens?  Is there some policy by which we can edit/remove it, or is it on
this website forever?  In the latter case, it is only a matter of time
before this website (my personal favorite site on the entire web) is just
loaded down with historical innacuracies, and outright garbage.
