No, I'm not calling the shots, just proscribing the project. If you want
to redesign the pawns, that is fully within the parameters.

Alas, no, although it seems a moderately possible means of mainstream
incursion. I was merely thinking of things to do as exercises within
David's Raison d'Etres.

Well, if it is, I ain't alone. People have been designing chess pieces to
match their own viewpoints and belief systems for ages. (May I remind you
there is a Star Trek chess set, and a marvelous Alice in Wonderland set,
and a myriad of others... all achieved by redesigning the pieces.) You
know, even Dali may have designed a chess set.... It's kind of a memetic
version of a designer fragrance....
However, as in all good design problems, there is a lot of memetic
discovery involved inventing new forms. I am also attempting to explain
through process....
