Dear William,

I consider your effort to prepare Unicode support for Fairy Chess and
chess variant pieces very laudable. 
The naming of the pieces, however,seems a little problematic. Personally,
I prefer calling the Carrera Champion a Marshall and the Carrera Centaur a
Cardinal, others call them Chancellor and Archbishop. 
A Champion in Omega Chess is a different beast altogether.
Neutral Names, IMO, would be rook-knight and bishop-night for the naming
of the positions in the code, the writer then could in the text of course
use whatever name suits him.
