Argument adds Buccaneer(C) and Murmillo(I,i)(Winther 2006), having
bifurcation modes(no leaping). C moves as Rook, I as Bishop. If and only
if capturing, either turns once 45d. to (B,R) by 'bouncing' off a piece
adjacent 180 degrees 'behind' new direction. (More 'boost' than bounce)

If Queen-c4 moves, D.N.C.Nightrider has pathway a5-c4-d2-f1.
If Marshall-e3 moves, Fox has pathway b5-b6-c5-d4-e3-f2-f1.
If Knight-d3 moves, Buccr. has pathway d8-d7-d6-d5-d4-d3(pc.-c4)-e2-f1.
If Pawn-e1 moves, Fox moves b5-b4-c3-d2-d1-f1.
If Queen-e4 moves, Quintessence moves b8-d7-c5-e4-d2-f1.
If Bishop-f3 moves, Murmillo moves c7-d6-e5-f4(piece-f5)-f3-f2-f1.
If Pawn-g3 moves, Fox-i6 has path. If Alfil-g1 moves, Elbow R. paths. King cannot move because of Canon and Flamingo. (15)
