Icon Clearinghouse 5
In Part One, we took a look at some of the most common pieces in variant chess. Part Two covered the theme of icons named for animals; Part Three covered military, clergy, and similar things; and Part Four examined the many variants on the six orthodox pieces.
Here's most everything else.
As with the rest of the Icon Clearinghouse, set the graphics directory to /membergraphics/MSiconclearinghouse/ if you want to use these.
Pieces
Most of the pieces here are not without a fitting category; it's just that their categories are so small that several can fit on one page.
Forward & Back
Several pieces move forward like one sort of orthodox piece or common variant piece, and backwards like another.
Shogi
These icons, while not specifically resembling shogi pieces, are designed for use with shogi and shogi-esque games.
General Symbols
Sometimes a simple digit or other symbol is all that's needed.
Tifinagh
Mostly on a whim, I designed several pieces based on letters of the Tifinagh (the Berber alphabet). There are several variants on that alphabet, and I didn't stick to just one; and I accept that few people will be interested in using them. Still, a few might find it interesting, at least theoretically.
Other Stuff
These are icons that don't fit neatly into any of the other categories.
