Greg: You have a good point. Betza said the same thing; short-range pieces with more forward movement than backward movement are more aggressive and will discourage drawish play.
Here is one possible notation for some short range pieces:
A B C D E
F G H I K
L M . N O
P Q R S T
U V W X Y
Using this notation, a Knight is a BDFKPTVX, a wazir is a HMNR, a ferz is a GIQS, and a Betza's 'crab' is a BDPT.
There are about 16 million possible pieces using this notation.
