Changing the colours. There are now the four Water, Land, Yellow and Green
Rooks for considerations of many chessboards coloured red and black, the
problem of intermediate bad-pick 'White' as already representative of one
entire side's pieces etc. I.e., panning all this out, improved names for
the divergent ones are now Yellow Rook and Green Rook, where Yellow
captures only on White, Green only on Black; passively both are full-fledge
Rook. Okay, correspondingly, for the present quartet of Rookies (3.0-point
Rooks) are name-unchanged Water Rook and Land Rook, both non-divergent of
respective White and Black-square restriction, having also Ferz one-step
choice. So original Rook-Colour-One below is become Yellow Rook, and
Rook-Colour-Two Green Rook. Generic type-marker ''Rookies'' is convenient
irrespective of Betza's C.D.A. remarkable rookies. For also besides that
''Rookies,'' any of Rooklets, scalar-rook, Rook-less, Rook-light, and
Brooks for B-Rooks will do for all these scaled-down-power Rook types, of
which there are more possible to announce -- and ultimately name.
So further, the same C.D.A., the Rookeries, are initial-to-name by starting
array: F_G_L_Q_K_W_E_F, where E is Yellow.
The four are unquestionably brand new p-ts invented this fall here a couple comments back Green and Yellow and the Water and Land at C.D.A. in September:
