These are not strange pieces that appeared out of the blue. They are just modified versions of the Wazir and Ferz. Each has been modified to move in any forward direction in addition to the regular moves of the Wazir or Ferz. The Gold General is a Wazir that can also move diagonally forward, and a Silver General is a Ferz that can also move vertically forward. These pieces are preferable to the Wazir or Ferz, because they are better suited for attacking the enemy King. In the case of the Silver General, its additional vertical movement gives it the ability to reach any space on the board.
