Just today I was thinking if we had hit a wall in piece development. What
was left to be done?

Never crossed my mind a shortrange piece, and variations about it.

Thanks a lot!

I do even believe that part of the system could be used to create
longrange pieces as well. Actually I do believe that its a perfect guide
to create pieces no matter the range.

Three pieces that crossed my mind in this weekend was shortrange, but, I
had then just stored to see if someone already created and used. They are
combinations of man (Ferz + Wazir)[m] with the Alfil [A], the Dabbabah [D]
and the Alibaba [Ab]. As the FAD and the champion, from Omega Chess, I've
felt that they are 'shogiesque', as the: flying dragon, kirin, phoenix
(waffle), and the violent ox. My pieces are man+Alfil [mA], man+Dabbabah
[mD] and man+Alibaba [mAb].

Thanks a lot again!
