that both the Long Leaper and the Advancer are equally prohibited from capturing adjacent pieces, and that adjacent captures were intended to be limited to the King and the Withdrawer.
Except that the Long Leaper has always been able to capture an adjacent piece as long as the next square is empty. The Rococo Long Leaper was borrowed from Ultima unchanged. It is simply unfortunate that the piece description was badly phrased. However the ZRF and the animated diagram always demonstrated the correct behavior.
