To Greg Strong: of course you are right with your historical hints. There
might be some remarks to be added in the CRC description. The CRC text
should be extended, if there would be enough interested readers.

To Greg Strong and David Paulowich: indeed there are more traditional
names for C (Chancellor) and A (Archbishop). But those names do not
correspond to the pieces: nor to their gaits nor to their symbols. I have
tried to design more intuitive gait related symbols and noticed, that the
names would not be helpful for newcomers to the Capablanca extended piece
set. So I proposed names (partially already used differently in other
context) to enhance the readability of CRC board positions to interested
people. But that approach is only a suggestion, carefully keeping the same
initial letters e.g. to stay compatible within X-FEN.

To all posters here at CRC until now: thank you for your interest and
encouraging words!
