Pieces for apothecary 1:

Pawn - is the classic chess pawn with the catch that it promotes from the 8th rank to a minor piece, from the 9th rank to also a rook, and to the 10th rank where promotion is obligatory it promotes to also a strong piece (Queen, Griffin or AAnca).

Queen-classic chess queen

Aanca- bend rider that starts as an wazir and then if not blocked may move as a bishop

Griffin-  bend rider that starts as an ferz and then if not blocked may move as a rook

Wizard- taken from omega chess C+F

kNight- classic chess knight with a zebra just move enhancement

Champion- taken from omega chess W+D+A

Rook - classic chess rook
