Next for piece definitions in long lists is Truelove's table:

Pritchard, compiled from Pritchard's 'Enclyclopedia' and Dickens 'Guide'. If not recognizing the name immediately, you have to go to the book to see how the piece-type moves, or it might be found in a CV game online or in another glossary. Though not trying values, Truelove's is useful because some games in Pritchard have not made it over to Chess Variant Page.

Not useful from the same turn of millennium time period is Derzhanski's:

Fairy The point values (zillions) are presumptuous in exactitude, and supposed definitions, whether accurate Betzan notation or not, are like personal notes, as if Derzhanski didn't know what he was getting into.
