I don't know what to say, but that seems like a really weak piece,
according to Betza's magic number. The awkwardness explodes
exponentially, making it probably worth a maximum of 1/8 of a Pawn. Have you tested this piece? To quote David Paulowich, it strikes me as almost as bad an idea as the original Shatranj Elephant. Only worse. Much, much worse.
