These are the internal names from ChessV:
Amazon, Archbishop, Bent Hero, Bent Shaman, Berolina Pawn, Bishop, Buffalo, Caliph, Camel, Camel General, Camelrider, Cannon, Centaur, Chained Padwar, Chained Warrior, Champion, Chancellor, Charging Knight, Charging Rook, Chu Shogi Lion, Cleric, Colonel, Copper General, Dabbabah, Dabbabahrider, Diamond Chess Pawn, Dragon Horse, Dragon King, Elephant, Elephant Ferz, Falcon, Ferz, Ferz Then Rook, Free Padwar, Free Warrior, Frog, General, Gold General, High Priestess, Joker, Jumping General, King, Knight, Knight Then Bishop, Kylin, Lightning Warmachine, Lion, Mao, Ministor, Narrow Knight, Nightrider, Oliphant, Pawn, Phoenix, Queen, Rhino, Rook, Scout, Short Rook, Side Mover, Side Mover General, Silver General, Sliding General, Squirrel, Squirrel General, Tower, Tribbabah, Tribbabahrider, Unicorn, Vao, Vertical Mover, Vertical Mover General, War Elephant, Wazir, Wazir Then Bishop, Wildebeest, Wizard, Zebra, Zebrarider
Looking at this list, there are some instances where the Betza notation could be easier to find. For instance, the Camel-Bishop hybrid. I use the name Caliph for this piece, but that would not be obvious to someone who hasn't seen that name used or doesn't remember. But for occasional pieces like this, the internal name for it could be, for example, Bishop Camel. I used this approach for the Elephant Ferz. In any event, we can just make a cheat sheet that lists out common names and betza notations when we run into occasional pieces like this where it isn't obvious.
