Since IAGO chess was developed only *after* this happened, then, I
presume his complaint wasn't that IAGO was trying to claim owner****p
of Seirawan Chess - as it is doing, understandably enough, with its
own invention, IAGO Chess.
However, the names you are using, taken from Capablanca Chess, for
those two combined pieces, aren't really the most common names used
for them *either*, although Capablanca did use the name for the
Chancellor previously established with Chancellor Chess.
Instead, the combined piece Rook + Knight is usually known as an
Empress, and the combined piece Bishop + Knight is usually known as a
Princess.
