I'm working on adding piece descriptions to the fairychess include file. One reason for this is to help programmers using the include file find the code for the pieces they want. But instead of putting them into comments, I am creating strings that can be used in error messages to remind players how a piece moves. I started with the Chess pieces while I took the time to hone the code for displaying the messages. The strings use "%s" instead of the piece name in case someone renames a piece. I had thought of using printf, but I ended up using str_replace, which I added to the language. Like the PHP str_replace, its arguments are search, replace, and string.
