While I might still try a four-color board, I have two reasons against
using one. First, I already tried a four-color board when I created
Cavalier Chess, and it was confusing to look at. Second, I wanted to use
the colors of the British flag for the board, and it has three colors.

I may still try a four-color board, because I've come up with the idea
that the Dragons are elemental creatures who each move through one
element. I could justify green as a fourth color, representing Northern
Ireland and the element earth. Red would be fire, white air, and blue
water.

I think two Dragons per side are enough. I have deduced that a Queen with
any two minor pieces can checkmate a lone Queen, and this includes two
Dragons.
