One of the humorous Chess articles I have read was about the different ways
that the Knight's move was described over the centuries. Sorry, I do not
absolutely recall the book that it was in(I believe that it was in Mensa's
book on Chess).
It gave a large variety of examples, each more convoluted the next. All
took a bit of careful consideration(or at least diagrams) to work out their
logic. Some just made the reader go sparrow.
I bring this up as an example, so that hopefully developers will avoid
re-hashing particular descriptives. Thus continuing the confusion of
particular pieces.
BTW, my description of a Knight move is a translation to the opposite
corner cell of a 2x3 area. Is it better than others? Maybe not. But I
really like it. ;-)
