Every word a game. Anyone making a CV can use the HORSE method. Go to Frank
Truelove's piece list, for non-readers of books 'ECV' and 'Guide to
Fairy Chess'. Look up piece-names starting with these letters. Five
piece-types: Hunter, Overtaker, Rettah, Switcher, Equerry: HORSE. On 8x8
SHERREHS, second row OOOOOOOO. HORSE, SHORE SHOER, HOSER, HEROS are of
course considered one and the same, differing only in being
FischerRandomChess-like randomizations. Invoking suitable Rules: If Rettah
is checked, the checker must be captured immediately. /// End of argument.

HORSE method morphs. HORUS would be different. We need a 'U-'. Unicorn (Bishop + NN: 'NN' is neat shorthand of Nightrider: 'Nightrider' is mis-spelling of 'Knightrider': hey, naming alone is form of creativity: 'Nightrider' then as Knight that can continue.) Hence Hunter, Overtaker, Rettah, Unicorn, Switcher. /// How about ''RORSCHACH''? That would be 9 piece-types. 12x8 96 squares can optimize that many. Reducer(r) Overtaker(O) Rettah(R) Switcher(S) Champion(C) Hunter(H) Alfil(A) Centaur(c) Hero(h). RORSCHACH.
