How about?

Corporeal

Renegade

Other

What characteristics you'd like to see in the design a super pawn (supposed either to replace Part (more probable 2-4 pawns) or all the pawns.

Don't forget. If yo look for a cool gift related to chess, think about the new pieces.

Dear Ferdinand
It's the simplest and greatest idea ever.

In fact, i already got many names in mind and discussed it with close friends and partners. We will have 2 different designs for the super pawn with probably 2 different slightly modified rules. But the term musketeer is magnifcient. In fact, we are looking for an optimised and couragious pawn. what's more couragious that a Musketeer !!

Really brilliant Ferdinand

Perhaps musketeer name is too long. Other possibilities jack or perhaps skipper but last one is already in use.

In which variant skipper is used?

The idea of a super pawn is also to remain close to the name of pawn (renegade, musketeer, corporeal, soldier etc.) but original ideas are also wellcome.

The most important is to come with a "cool" name.

Skipper is the name of my chess program. It plays normal chess (or should play normal chess).

The retained name is Musketeer.

They are more valuable than normal soldiers (=pawns).

We are going to design two different models of Musketeer Super Pawn.
