The Bobo. Let's see there would be 4 Bobos. The system is Bo Bishop, Ro
Rook, Ho Horse, ho-ho-ho bo-ro-ho, the three fundamentals. Systematization
is not insight, but we go along with it because of the European origin of
la mad queena, loca en la cabeza. Now BoBo is like double Bishop. Every
Bobo moves like a regular Bishop plus one more reverse-colour adjacent
diagonal to the ends of the board. There are four potential ''adjacent
diagonals.'' Crisscross. Crisscross. CC. CC. Where he is situated, there
are 4 orientations for the extra diagonal NE-SW up, NE-SW down, NW-SE up,
NW-SE down. We'll further simplify the notations later, but in the array
the four Bobos should of course replace Knights and Bishops like this,
using 'O' for Bobo: ROOQKOOR.  This piece-type makes what was the Bishop
into not being *colourbound*. There is no more need for one of the
non-colourbound fundamentals, Horse, herself overtly colour-switching,
because Bobo goes there too. Value? So approaching Rook as to become
indistinguishable. The next step in the chain of evolution of chess is to
find the perfect hybrid Rook-Bobo and therefore have only
King-Queen-RORORO, or by one equivalent indication King-Queen-XOXOXO. We don't know what that Rook-Bobo hybrid would look like but we can guess the likely name: Boob maybe by acclaim, or better just Book or Koob according to etymological culture; but the above BoRoHo fits logically best when you think about it.  The trouble is when once a name sticks it's hard to change, the very point of Moises' original question. When is
a Tic a Tac? Under what conditions? The beginning or the end? // By the way, Bobo is perfect case of name came first, that we talked about for CVs. This is a case more unusual of piece-type name first, then only then the piece-type fitting the name!
