With due respect to the person who apologized for starting this animated
debate, he didn't start it, I did with my comment on the
Chancellor/Marshall/Empress thread on 3/24 in which I recomended using
Betza notation on the games pages in parens after the piece name.
Out of curiousity, Ralph, what are the two things higher than starting an
animated debate? :)
Perhaps a special punctuation character could be added to the notation
meaning 'this notation does't fully describe the piece, you must read the
description.' The purpose of this is to use notation to describe the
piece as well as possible even when it can't do so completely.
So for example, I might have this piece on my game page:
Bogeyman (RN#)
where # means 'not completely described'. Then you can tell at a glance
that the piece is similar to a Chancellor, even if not identical.
