[edit] The Most Popular
The main article for Fairy Chess Pieces listed the "nightrider" as the most popular fairy chess piece, while this article claimed that destination to go to it's subject, the "grasshopper." I have changed both references to "one of the most popular," and suggest that in the future anybody who wishes to claim a certain piece as being the most popular cite their facts accordingly.

- Actually, this can be checked and backed by facts quite easily. The database of chess problems, WinChloe, has as a part probably the largest database of fairy chess problems. It is possible to filter out problems featuring any fairy piece and count them. Based on my experience, grasshopper and nightrider are by far the most frequent (i.e. popular) fairy pieces... I can do this count later, with database at hand. --Ruziklan (talk) 10:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
