Pieces & Mouvements
The Howling Dog can move any number of free squares along the forward orthogonal; or, It can step one square directly backwards.
The Flying Horse can move one or two squares diagonally forward; or, It can step one square in one of the four orthogonal directions. Promotion : Free King
The Donkey can step one square orthogonally; or, It can jump to the second square directly forward or backward.
The Flying Ox can move any number of free squares along one of the four diagonal directions; or, It can move any number of free squares orthogonally forward or backward.
The Side Mover can move any number of free squares orthogonally sideways; or, Step: It can move one square orthogonally forward or backward.
The Vertical Mover can move any number of free squares orthogonally forward or backward; or, It can step one square orthogonally sideways
The Violent Bear can move one or two squares diagonally forward; or It can step one square orthogonally sideways.
The Standard Bearer can move any number of unobstructed squares in the forward diagonal and orthogonal directions or move up to two spaces in any other direction.
The Prancing Stag can move one or two squares orthogonally sideways; or, It can step one square in one of the four diagonal directions, or directly forward. Promotion : Square Mover
The Angry Boar can step one square in one of the four orthogonal directions.
The Evil Wolf can move on space forward, diagonally forward, or sideways.
The Lion Dog can make a three-step lion move along any one of the eight orthogonal or diagonal directions. That is, unlike the lion itself, but like the soaring eagle and horned falcon, it is restricted to moving along a straight line and cannot move to the inbetween squares. This power includes jumping, igui, and skipping a turn. A piece may be captured on all three steps.
The lion dog may capture a piece on the first and second square, and then retreat to the first square. Or it may snatch a piece off the first square as in normal igui. (Note however that it may not then continue
in the opposite direction: it is restricted to one orthogonal or diagonal.)
It may jump to the second square, and then continue to the third square, capturing up to two pieces. Or it may jump directly to the third square.
It is not required to take all three steps. However, like most powerful pieces, once it makes a capturing move it "promotes" and loses its powers (unless of course it is a promoted western barbarian, in which case it cannot promote again, and its powers are permanent). Promotion Great Elephant
