Honorable Horse. Moves forward as a Knight.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]
Jörg Knappen wrote on Wed, May 5, 2010 04:19 AM EDT:
Kō shōgi has reintroduced the classical knight (but since it was invented in the 18th century its inventor may have known the Orthochess knight) and also features two kinds of knight-based Lion-movers. The Cavalry 騎総 kisō must keep the longer direction of the knight move for its second move. The Winged horse 天馬 temba has a full double-knight Lion move.

Formidable pieces, I say.
