The Lama chess pieces
|
The Lama family of pieces jump orthogonally on every second square, but have
only four capture squares. They can, however, easily change square colour by
moving to the adjacent orthogonal square. Any pair of these pieces can achieve
checkmate together with a king. |

 The
Guanaco jumps continuously two squares orthogonally to empty square (i.e. it
slides on the same square colour). It can also step, and capture, one square
orthogonally. Its value is somewhat less than a knight. A peculiarity is that
jumps are allowed even if it has a capture possibility on the first square.

 The
Vicuña jumps two squares orthogonally, and continues jumping as long as
there are empty squares. It can also move one square orthogonally. It can only
capture on its first two-square jump. Its value is somewhat less than a knight.
