Sam's griffon-type pieces have the property of being more powerful at a
distance than up close. Once they get past a certain number of squares,
they switch from attacking 4 squares at each range to attacking 8 squares
at each range. The R & B attack 4 squares at each range, the queen 8. This
stronger at a distance attack of any bifurcator is also a property of the
bent shaman [and hero] and the twisted knight from Atlantean Barroom. It's
an interesting property when it's not trivial, as in the case of the D,
the 0,2 leaper, the H, the 0,3 leaper...] Are there other pieces that share
this property, and how?
