Indeed, it is in fairychess file. So, this is really sticking. Why can't we be disciplined just a little. On this community we all once agreed that Betza once made a mistake, he overread, when calling Aanca the wrong piece. We had a long discussion on that. So why there is still aanca for the wrong piece in this file which is rather recent? And then, it is contageous. I know that not everyone likes history and languages as I do. But once a fact is known, why keeping ignoring it? Ignorance is always stronger than culture. This is really discouraging.
It's because I failed to add the necessary aliases to get the names to display more coherently. Some pieces are defined separately for white and black because of color or direction dependent moves. Aanca is defined as such in fairychess so it will show that way unless overridden by an alias.

I read the description of the pieces. There is no difference between White Elephant and Black Elephant, same for Hare, Courier Pawn, etc. Am I missing something? I have not understood.

Why do you persit in calling Aanca the W-then-B? Do this is perpetuating a regrettable mistake. Aanca is F-then-R, the Gryphon as in Grant Acedrex (our variant of the month!). Manticore, Rhinoceros (as your symbol) are names used on other variants here with no problem.

It's important to maintain backwards compatibility, and anyone who doesn't like the name of Aanca is free to use a different name with an alias.
