New Piece Style Idea for Knighted Variants (GOTHIC, CAPABLANCA,
CARRERA ETC)

Look what I found! Ingenious eh? It looks like he used those
cheap mass market "Pressman" unstable chessmen with some larger
high quality plastic Reykjavik pieces. I love the chancellor but
the archbishop seems less intuitively obvious to me.

The archbishop has the king's crown, which is making me think of
B+K rather than B+N.

Exactly! That's what I thought. I guess the maker was going for
a "higher status" bishop.

Just to be clear, none of those Gothic Chess images above have
anything to do with my business.
The image below is what my pieces look like.
