Because I thought that the movement of the piece and the name of the piece would make sense.

Just to take Scientist as an example, this name for the piece you provided a diagram for seems completely arbitrary.

Also, I split the thread because I didn't know how to paste multiple pictures at the same time.

It looks like you are posting Interactive Diagrams instead of pictures, except that they are not working as Interactive Diagrams should, because you are not including the Betza code.

If you just want static diagrams, we do have the Diagram Designer for that. This will give you HTML code for displaying an image of the diagram. It's easy enough to post multiple diagrams in the same comment or page.

Generally, when you post movement diagrams and name pieces, you should have some context for this, such as an actual game they are used in. Verbal descriptions are also helpful for telling whether the piece in question is a normal leaper or a lame leaper.
