In the following is what I did for images and names for this game. I had tried a diagram representation. Unfortunately the 50x50 pixels of the images need to be split in a 9x9 grid leaving little room for things to happen in one grid cell. That is because the longest path mover moves 43&41 and some bent riders bend after the 3rd step. The excepting for that is the joker. The joker is represented by a big J. That got me thinking about making instead images with 2 letters from the English alphabet. What do you think about this? Also if you have any suggestion on how to improve the images I'm listening gladly. I am not talented at this nor imaginative.

 Just the Bishop.

The Rook.

 The queen.

 The king.

 The Pawn.

 The berolina.

  The kinghtrider.

 The chinesse cannon.

 The joker (imitator).

 The vulture (a 41&43  falcon).

 The knight of this game(NmZ).

 The mameluk (WL).

 The siege elephant (FAH).

 The caliph(BL).

The dragon (a ferz then rook).

 A unicorn  (BNN).

 The firebird. A  Bishop3 then rook that can also step like a wazir.

The thunderbird. A rook2thenbishop that can also step like a ferz.

Thanks for reading all this! I await your reactions.
