I'm thinking of a piece called a Headless Horseman, which would move as a
Gryphon or Aanca, but cannot capture when moving 2 steps or more:

m . m . m . m .
. m . m m . m m
. . m . m . m .
m m m m x x x m
. . . . x H x .
m m m m x x x m
. . m . m . m .
. m . m m . m m

I would estimate it to be worth about 7 Pawns. Does anyone have other
value suggestions, with reasons or playtesting?
