Larry Smith, YOU ROCK! I call first game! If I understand the pawn/squire question correctly; yes, capture can be made one space on a forward diagonal, of which there are 2. Re; the templar and the pentagon; when moving as a knight, the templar is in no way blocked or impeded by the pentagon space. This is true for two separate reasons. the most pertinent is that if you look at how a knight jumps, you can say it moves two forward and one to the side – which is the same as saying one forward and two to the side. Applying this same logic to the pentagon question, if it seems the knight move is blocked going 2 then 1, try looking at it backward, 1 then 2. if one is legal the reverse must me legal too. A secondary reason is simply that a knight jumps and is not meant to be blocked. Feel free to contact me directly if you want access to my notes and drawings. jackcheiky@yahoo.com
