In the following is what I did for images and names for this game. I had tried a diagram representation. Unfortunately the 50x50 pixels of the images need to be split in a 9x9 grid leaving little room for things to happen in one grid cell. That is because the longest path mover moves 43&41 and some bent riders bend after the 3rd step. The excepting for that is the joker. The joker is represented by a big J. That got me thinking about making instead images with 2 letters from the English alphabet. What do you think about this? Also if you have any suggestion on how to improve the images I'm listening gladly. I am not talented at this nor imaginative.

 Just the Bishop.

The rook.

 The queen.

 The king.

 The pawn.

 The berolina.

  The knightrider.

 The chinesse cannon.

The joker(imitator).

The vulture (a 41&43  falcon).

The knight of this game(NmHmA).

 The wizard(FL).

 The cahmpion (WAD).

 The sangoma (BZ).

 The dragon (a ferz then rook).

 The griffin (a wazir then bishop).

 The Cyclops. A rook3 then bishop that can also do an alfil jump.

 The Giant. A bishop2 then rook that can also do an dabbabah jump.

Thanks for reading all this! I await your reactions.
