May I ask few questions:

  • why is the board checkered with 4 colors instead of 2?

  • is the Betza's notation for the Dragon correct? According to the textual description I would say t[FR] and not FyafsF. (I understood the Dragon is a Murray's Gryphon)

  • Why is the Vulture so complex? Why not a mere compound jumper Giraffe + Zebra?

It is a matter of taste of course, but to my taste I wonder why making more complex several piece which are basically simple such as Knight (N is not enough?), Elephant (FA not enough?). Thurderbird and Firebird are very complex. I would like to play this game but with simpler rules.
