Rhino. A set of pieces which combine the movements of the Mao with that of the Wazir.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Hey, George, you didn't notice the hint of chagrin and a delicate sarcasm in that statement of mine? To boldly invent the rhino for the umpteenth time doesn't do a lot for one's image. Imagine my thrill when I found out the Muse of Redundancy had visited me with another used idea.

But to put together a little system that pops out pieces like that among other common and some very rare and unique pieces isn't all that bad. [I may need to continue that thought on your 91.5 Trillion thread, George]. 

I do have to disagree about independent invention of ideas, though. It has happened repeatedly throughout history, and will happen more and more in CVs because there are more and more of them. With luck, people with experience will catch the duplications. But this doesn't lessen the creativity of the designer, merely the bragging rights... :-)
