If the pieces could somehow represent the moves they make, that would be nice. For example, the squirrel move is a combo of the alfil, dabbabah, and knight. Of course, my current example of that piece looks like Dumbo on wheels, complete with pillbox circus hat. But I believe the idea is a good one. I don't recommend pieces like those in Navia Dratp, where the moves are shown schematically on the piece base, but the use of common symbols combined [hopefully better than Dumbo on wheels] in an artful manner would make it a lot easier [certainly for me] to concentrate on the game, and not keep having to look up piece moves [I play bad enough], which is very distracting; or worse, mistake one piece for another. Some games [like Postal Chess] or piece sets [like the Pizza Kings] need unique themed pieces, but this is much more the exception than the rule.
