Anti-Draughts: we ask for your help

Good news for everyone!

The devs are willing to implement Anti-Draughts in the near future. But before we can launch this draughts variant, one thing is veeeeeery imporant: a recognizable symbol!

You probably allready saw the symbols belonging to each draughts timecontrol: a 'lightning bolt' for bullet, 'fire' for blitz, a 'rabbit' for rapid and (offcourse) a 'turtle' for classical.

On Lichess, different chess variants have their own symbol, like Frisian here too. On Lichess, the anti-chess' sysmbol is an upside-down King. Well, in draughts, an upside-down King just remains to be a King (visually, not philosophically). We need something else!

We want to share the search for a recognizable symbol with you fanatics. Please help to suggest any symbol you find recognizable for anti-draughts.

Kind regards,
The Lidraughts devs

The first thing which comes to mind is an empty square.

Hmm, this is something that will take some imagination.

Since I'm not an imaginative person, I'll recommend using an upside-down "D" for the symbol and hope somebody thinks of something better, haha. :)

The default king piece is upside down quite different from when it's right side up, isn't it?

I was just thinking at this fact yesterday... I suppose the symbol could be just a piece cut in a half as natello53 said... or a king with the crown reverted as Tim says!!

ok ok I ve never played this variant but I think that the target is to get eaten by the opponent so why dont you make a symbol of a piece in the shape of pacman??? :)
