Piece names (What piece is this?)[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

What is the 'H' part?  Charles Gilman has over 100 pieces named starting with H in Man & Beast index. 

Wazir + Knight + H, if you define H, Gilman probably named, but he may not have.  And it probably

does not start with an 'h', whatever tri-compound you are referring to.

Follow-up, okay you must mean wazir knight Hero, and that's optional sequential type Charles did not do in twenty-odd M&B, and all the more Betza did not bother with. It is interesting though: move as W or as N and stop, or continue one more leg in the other mode, if not having captured. There is no formal name for that, so call it what you want. In M&B08 he names W + N Marshlander; the -Landers combine a radial and an oblique.
