I researched the different boards, but some people only translated the names, and not the piece movements associated with them. For example, Capablanca had a Cardinal and a Marshall at one point in time, so did Bird. But Capablanca changed his pieces to Marshall and Chancellor, then Chancellor and Archbishop. So most people do not take into account Bird's Cardinal is not the Archbishop, it was our Chancellor, and his Marshall is not a Chancellor, but was the Archbishop.

It is very confusing, I know.
