Okay, I made a preset called 'Alfaerie: Four Colors'. I used the colors
David made pieces in, which are red, green, blue, and white. I assigned
the red and green pieces letters that I hope are mnemonically helpful.
Here are the mnemonics.

C is for Castle, a common term for Rook.
D is for Dame, the French and German name for the Queen.
F is for Footsoldier, which is what a Pawn is.
H is for Horse, which is what the Knight's name means in most languages.
L is for Laufer, the German name for Bishop, or Loper, the Dutch name.
S is for Shah, the Persian name for King.
