Why isn't 'triple fusion' allowed? This is, letting a Queen merge with a
Knight (or a Marshall with a Bishop, or a Paladin with a Rook) to form an
'Amazon' (piece moving like Bishop + Rook + Knight).

More combinations are possible with royal pieces, although the resulting
royal pieces may prove to be too powerful. But, at least, Amazons could be
allowed, and then let Pawns promote into 'fusioned' pieces as well.

The article doesnt say anything on how to denote the Pope, Dragon King, or
Eques Rex.

Finally, the correct Latin plural for 'Eques Rex' should be 'Equites
Reges' (and not 'Eques Rexi' as it appears in the article).
