A better Title for this article?

[edit]

I have found that most variant chess games using a B+N compound call it the archbishop or cardinal. After some searching, I could only find one variant chess game (introduced in 1978 and now seems to be obscure) where it was called princess. I would prefer to see this article titled "Archbishop" based on modern usage. But I'll leave it for now based on scholarly argument that Princess may be used by chess game problemists. I did update the opening paragraph to explain the discrepancy between common usage and this article's title. (This same topic came up for the article "Empress", with more common names "chancellor" and "marshall" suggested as the title. See discussion there).LithiumFlash (talk) 17:06, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
