Indeed, the HTML-page starts with the letter "k": https://www.chessvariants.com/piececlopedia.dir/knightrider.html

This also applies to Okapi.

Why are there separate pages for the Zelig and the Querquisite, when these are just different names for the same piece?


Jörg Knappen wrote on Sun, Apr 6 08:05 PM UTC in reply to H. G. Muller from 07:10 PM:

I don't know. I wrote the Querquisite page explicitly as a replacement for the older Zelig page, however, the Zelig page was retained for reasons I don't know.

Indeed, it is in the pages directory, not in the piecoclopedia right now:

I expect it escaped the notice of an editor who could handle this, and no one else brought it to our attention. I have now deleted the Zelig page and provided a link to the Querquisite page on its 404 page.

I have a new piece design, but I don't know how to create a page of piececlopedia(The index profile of it doesn't make sense).

My new piece is angel, it is shown as a pawn with a pair of wings. It moves like a centaur, but nearby friendly pieces(The pieces with same color of it and adjacent to it) won't be attacked. In atomic chess, pieces guardianed by angel won't explode, but angel explodes instead. Also, I designed archangel according to this. It is still an angel, except moves like a Maharaja.

Piececlopedia articles are usually about consecrated pieces, that appear in many games.
