Or to really be economical, how about ffen diagrams? Have as look at the source code for this comment. Note that the lines right at the start of the comment are needed - I usually put them at the start of the 'Setup' section. The following version conveys the exotic character of the moves that the pieces make. Some have been used for the same piece before, for example, for the Alibaba I use the image from Ken Franklin's Leap Chess.

The following one is based on what physical equipment might be used. It has the advantage of being still shorter, but has the problem that such very familiar images strongly suggest FIDE moves!
