Piececlopedia Guidelines. Missing description[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I've written a piececlopedia myself about the Unicorn (nightrider-bishop compound) and that got accepted, so you writing an article about the ferfil should be possible too
Betza notation (extended). The powerful XBetza extension to Betza's funny notation.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]woudn't it be a idea for bent riders to use > or <. (example Gryphon would be F>R)
Bent Riders. A discussion of pieces, like the Gryphon, that take a step then move as riders.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Another piece I wonder if it ever was used is Nao
Seenschach. Variant on 10 by 10 board with lake in the middle and new pieces. (10x10, Cells: 84) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Caïssa Britannia. British themed variant with Lions, Unicorns, Dragons, Anglican Bishops, and a royal Queen. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]It does have one in the comments
Wouldn't it be a great idea if there were a website similar to this, but also with information about draughts, Lines of Action and go etc, (and variants)?
Fantastic XIII. A bizarre large odd chess variant with the weirdest men from Cazaux's family.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Today I thought of a piece combining the snake with a Vertical rook, that would feel very nice
Immobilizer. Pieces standing near an immobilizer may not move.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]No, it would immobilize similarly to the Withdrawer
It would stop immobilizing when it is no longer a queen's move away from that piece

Betza notation (extended). The powerful XBetza extension to Betza's funny notation.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]what about a piece I recently read about that moves like reflecting bishop, but that must make at least one reflection?
Lion (2). Moves on queen-lines but must jump exactly one piece. Appears in fairy chess problems.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This basically is similar to the Korean Cannon (there BTW should be Korean piece pages too)
Nao. Moves like nightrider, but must jump when taking.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This piece has also been called a Cao, probably the C coming from cavalry
Manticore. Moves one space orthogonally, then slides outward as a Bishop.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I once read a comment by HG Muller avout how this piece van reach every square bishops can reach that are orthogonally next to it. But where is that Comment?
(the comment search is broken)
Bent Riders. A discussion of pieces, like the Gryphon, that take a step then move as riders.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]About piece names: F-then-DD is used in one of David Paulowich's games, with a compound with rook too (Spotted Gryphon and Chainsaw). I recently thought of a F-then-W-then-DD piece. About Man-and-Beast, those definitely deserve a rework
Canvasser. 
Compound of Rook and Camel.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Is anyone interested?
Orthodia. Break your orthogonal and diagonal patterns! (Two versions). (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]such a piece also exists with the Sweeping Switchers
