When the short-range and long-range moves are both orthogonal or both
diagonal, the bend is 90º. When they are one of each, it is 45º. What
angle would the bend be when one of the moves is Knightwise. Would there
be a choice? Where both are Knightwise, would the bend be 90º, or would
there be a choice of either of the two acute angles (one <45º, one >45º)?
Also given the use of 45º itself when radial moves are mixed, surely there
should be mention of the moves of the Camel (a long-standing variant
piece) and Camelrider, which are at 45º to those of Knight and Nightrider.
This raises the basic options from 25 to 36. Then there are reversed bent
riders, with the long move first, and reversible ones, which can use
either order.
