In fact, now that I realize this is just Makruk and not some weird variant of it with new pieces, I should point out that presets should not be made simply for the sake of using different graphics. That's what piece sets are for. Use of the alfaerie-many set may give freedom of choice to the designer, but it robs it from the players. For a game like Makruk, it is best to use standardized single-letter notation and to provide multiple sets to suit different preferences.
