Then there are Betza's "Ideal and Practical Values" that also list pieces. The basic or atomic chess pieces: Wazir+. I don't like Ralph's use of "fundamental" for W, A, D, N, F, because fundamental should be reserved for Rook, Knight, Bishop, and Falcon; but those five FWAND are certainly the atomic ones for 5x5 around a starting square.
Just as Winther has "Bifurcators" in earlier list here, Howe has "Mimics": Mimics. There is much unrealized potential in having CVs with Mimic/Mime/Imitator.
Next, I list pieces that are riders with more than one path: Multi-path
(Negative-value pieces fit this topic as well, Nattering_Nabobs, because Negative Relay, as one way to achieve over-all "minus value," could be generalized as Mutator to cover the 2000 Gilman types and approximately 500 other types in these lists so far Gilman happens to exclude or overlook. Just operate the Mutator not on the game-rules per se but the individual piece-type directly. Presto, 2500 different piece-types become 5000.)
