Hello Bn Em,

I think the 2.manticore and 2.bishop are the pieces that start like a ranging piece and continues like another one. The Osprey for example does not do that. I'd name this R2 then B and B2 then R respectively. I am testing these in my next games. I think n.Matincore and n.Gryphon are good names for Rn then Bishop, and Bn then Rook. I think they are interesting exactly because they are blockable and playing them is more strategic because they have to be played after some pawn chains collapse.
