Fine, now here are some clarifications included, at least. Out of the
proposals in the discussion, I immediately love the terms 'dog leg
bishop' and 'dog leg rook': Nice unique names for the pieces. Maybe
'dog leg cavalier' and 'dog leg duke' are even better because of their
relation to RennChess.

What unprotected pawns is concerned: This one of the major points in the
discussion of Capablanca chess (invented by a chess world champion, but
never
caught on).

P.S. Die Diskussion über die Etymologie von 'Zickzack' im Deutschen ist
lustig. Ein Knick macht nur einen Zacken (/\), für ein Zickzack braucht
es viele Knicke (/\/\/\/\/\).
