There are probably still some mistakes in the data I've collected, primarily based on the swiss weekly DIE SCHACHWOCHE (1978 - 2003) and THE WEEK IN CHESS (1994 - present) as well as the further mentioned origins in the chapter sources and readings - www.chessdiagonals.ch.
I'd greatly appreciate any corrections you send to chessdiagonals.
Same goes for any kind of feed-forward.

Emblem's origin
Initially, each player has two bishops that can be moved on diagonals of their colors and capture the same way. Conventionally,
a bishop is equal to a knight or approximately three pawns in its power. Double bishops, however, are mostly more powerful than, for instance, double knights, especially in the open middle and end game. In algebraic notation, this piece is represented by a
character B.
BISHOP of Opposite Color A situation where each side has only one bishop left and those bishops travel on squares of the opposite color. The significance of this situation is that it often brings about a drawn endgame, even if one side has extra pawns.
Originally, this piece was called Elephant (Arabic - alfil) and could move diagonally and
leap over one square. It was not until the late 15th century when it finally became the Bishop we know today.
The piece is named Bishop in
English, Slone (translated: Elephant) in Russian, Fou in French, Alfil in Spanish, Alfiere in Italian, and Läufer in German.
The poster, showing a bishop and a fool (french: le fou) on an elephant, is taken from a poster of an exposition at the chess museum in Ströcbeck, Germany in 2018/19.
The Elephant was First - Am Anfang war der Elefant:
"Diese Ausstellung im Schachmuseum Stroebeck ist dem mittelalterlichen Schach gewidmet, mit besonderer Betonung der Rolle, die der Elephant darin gespielt hat. Im alten persischen und arabischem Schach - ist der Elephant der Läufer (Pil bzw. Fil) - erst in Europa wird er langsam durch Fou, Bischof und den deutschen Läufer ersetzt."

A continuous line of squares. Identification is made by naming the
squares at each end.
The diagonals a1- h8 and h1- a8 are known as the long diagonals.
