The huygens chess piece (submitting to be catalogued in the Piececlopedia)[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Thanks Ben, I appreciate the information. Can I submit the information (original post) to be added as an Article "The Huygens"? I checked the articles for other chess pieces, and there's 19 total, not including the "atoms". The newest article was written 19 years ago. About ten of the pieces have interesting but generic names, such as:
Furlrurlbakking
Forfnibakking
Fibnif
mAW
fFbW
Fibnif plus Rook
B4nD
N2R4
Forfnifurlrurking
I think the Huygens will add fresh new variety to the collection of CVP's articles. It will be one of the few pieces that is known by its formal name rather than a generic name. It will also be the first piece at CVP designed specifically to be played on on infinite chessboard (which is beginning to draw attention, even from non-chess players).

Please let me know if the Huygens can be added to CVP's chess piece articles soon. If there's any other information you need about it please let me know.
Regards,
