Why the weird "modern" naming (alternatives)? A few specifics:

Modern piece created by me, but there isn’t its full movement, so here it can look as existing one.

This doesn't seem to add much? What full movement, and what existing piece?

Modern piece independently created by several people, i. e. by me.

I think you're misusing "i.e." here; you mean "including"?

Fairy piece, there with Shogi & Chu Shogi origins, so all names are useful there. It moves only one space in any direction.

But it's also the restriction of the wazir and the man and ... to 1D. Again I don't think the comparison to higher dimensions helps here, just say "moves one square" and get to the king-swapping ability.


I would transpose the diagram, so that it fits better on a screen, except that I worry about mobile screens. Hmm.

I'm not very familiar with the other 1D games we have here, I think it would be worth contrasting them a bit.
