The problem with the new royal piece symbol

As per the title, there is a problem with the new royal piece indicator. The indicator used to be a halo in 4pc, now it is a courier sign. The sign blocks the number of checks in N-Check, so we don't know how many checks we still have. Fix this by either making it smaller or changing it.

The bigger the board, the more centralized the fleur de lis is. And it only affects the N-check indicator when there are double digit checks left. So if you have 18 checks left on a 14x14 board, you don't be able to see the bottom of the 8. Not a huge deal since you can use context to figure it out, though.

Well I usually use 14x14 boards, and I like to fiddle around with N-Check, usually 50+, to prevent games from going on forever. The old sign was a glow around the piece, and it didn't block it at all.
