But think about how we actually play a chess game full of tikis. We have to be able to easily tell the difference between the pieces. Hilo Hattie's tiki could be a bishop, king, or any piece. Take a peek at the design guideline http://www.megachess.com/spec48.htm for some notes on what unique features of each piece tell a chess player what the piece is. A tiki bishop needs a somewhat conical head or hat, like a dunce cap with a slit. Or a horn. On 2004-03-11 14:26, Kono wrote: Hilo Hattie's got a Hawaiian Monarchy chess set.
