I agree that the pieces that Jeremy presents are easier to understand -
these are the pieces that ChessV uses.  But Tony created the preset and so
I can't change it.  And what he did was reasonable, because creating a new
piece set would have been a lot of work, and, at the time he made it, there
wasn't the all-inclusive 'Alfaerie: Many' piece set, and Game Courier
wouldn't have supported such a thing - at that time, pieces could only be
represented by a single letter.

But yes, Jeremy, if you want to replace that I would be all for it.
