This page was solicited, so I just wrote down what I knew. It came about
it
because I referred to it in Anglis Qi [insert hyperlink]. I am happy for
the page editor (Tony Quintanilla) to append a details of past uses of MD
pieces, either at the end of the relevant paragraphs or in a new final
paragraph. My own first encounter with the phrase was at
http://www.chessvariants.com/piececlopedia.dir/taxonomy.html among many
other definitions, and I make no claim of originality except for the MD
versions of the Elephant and Dabbaba - and will happily be corrected on
those if any previous use of them in known.
