Icon Clearinghouse 6
In this section, I'll focus on pieces that I've created myself.
Note that these are subject to all of the same rules and guidelines as Part One, including finding the graphics themselves at /membergraphics/MSiconclearinghouse/ (not the counterpart for this page!).
Pieces
Most of the pieces featured here fall into other categories; many started out on other parts of the Clearinghouse.

QBRM Compounds
Part One included combination pieces for the Queen, Bishop, Rook, and Mann with the Knight. These pieces combine those pieces with other leapers.
| Queen | Bishop | Rook | Mann | |

| Camel | Sultana (QC) | Caliph (BC) | Canvasser (RC) | General (Jinaaral) (KC) |

(The Caliph and Canvasser were invented and named by Charles Gilman, while the General seen here was invented by István Paulovits; they're included here to make the table complete. I came up with the other names.)
Tifinagh
Mostly on a whim, I designed several pieces based on letters of the Tifinagh (the Berber alphabet). There are several variants on that alphabet, and I didn't stick to just one; and I accept that few people will be interested in using them. Still, a few might find it interesting, at least theoretically (even though a few of these have moves already represented by existing pieces).

*The pabK on the two alternate versions of Yagh are "null moves," in games where that's allowed.
