Hello,
I am in the process of creating three larger version of apothecary chess. This is one of them - apothecary chess classic.
The purpose of this comment is to get help from the community naming and drawing the pieces.
In the previous comment on this thread I have made a interactive diagram with some preliminary names and pictures from what I could find. They are not very good so do not mind them to much.
In the following I'll name the properties of the new pieces and I expect from who may help a name and a description for the picture.
A piece that moves 3 squares like a bishop and may stop here or in the intermediate squares and continues like a rook toward outside. And it may also step like a wazir.
A pieces that moves 2 squares like a rook and may stop here or in the intermediate square and then toward outside like a bishop. And it may also step like a ferz.
I'll just call them Gryphon and Aanca at this point
There already is a gryphon in this game. Aanca spelled "Anka" it is so far my proposition in the other game with bent riders. Thanks for your input Zhedric!
What do you call an Aanca or an Anka? I can't see what you are talking about
Jean-Louis, acording to wikipedia Anqa or Anka is a Arabian mythical bird : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anqa,
I'm provisionally using the name for a piece that moves 2 squares like a rook, may stop here or in the intermediate square, and then towards outside like a bishop. It may also move like a ferz (In an attempt to make it as strong as a queen. Thanks for your interest.
