V.R.Parton also was interested in these divergent pieces. He used the "Biok" (mBcR) and the "Roshop" (mRcB) in his Half-Queen's chess. The Biok is a name that was invented by Lewis Carroll. Parton also proposed a Quight (mQcN) and a Kneen (mNcQ).
The Enlarger and Improved Chess is also described in my book A World Of Chess. It seems to have appeared in Dutch edition of a treatise by Greco circa 1696. Interestingly, modern Chess had barely two hundred years only, so this game is one of the earliest variants of modern chess.
