Cannonrider Chess. The Cannonrider moves differently depending on square colour: on white squares as a Nightrider; else as a Chinese Cannon.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

i agree with Fergus. The name Cannonrider is misleading. 

'Cannonightrider Elk' is more accurate, or perhaps something more
original, like maybe.. "raindeer"? 

A cannonrider is a piece that can jump over one piece and then jump
over another, but not necessarily as a multiple displacer (i.e., able to
capture or change the color of more than one piece). 

Otherwise, it's a perfectly decent game.
