This thread is to place the important piece lists together. Of course there is some or considerable overlap of piece-types, such as Charles' Index under 'J' including all of Christine's Japanese Fairy Shogi pieces from 12th to 18th centuries.
Next there are lists or discussions embedded into CVs themselves. Fergus Duniho's Gross_Chess covers basic Chess pieces, the most popular compounds from 17th century Carrera on, and hoppers all in one essay.
Fantasy Grand, F_Grand, in its six different armies has dozen or more pieces, as compounds or limited movers, not found elsewhere, serving as plausible piece-type glossary. Notice that in the Giant Army the Cyclops is the Ski Rook. Jorg Knappen recently told Dmitry Eskin that his current Asymmetric Chess is using longstanding Ski Rook. Thus Ski Rook is piece-type in two Chess Different Armies: Fantasy and Asymmetric. Eskin must have borrowed the idea from Hatch.
In fact, the first comment here starting this whole topic was that George Jeliss does define Ski Rook: Ski_Rook. What goes around comes around.
For follow-up, Suffix, Gilman develops the Suffix Index which can multiply the 2500+ piece-types formulaically.
