Actually, something like Vao was already invented... in ancient Korea! In Changi, Korean variant of Xiang-qi, most of pieces, icluding cannon, can move along diagonal lines in palaces! Of course, this diagonal cannon is not Vao, it also moves without capturing only by leaping, but these pieces are very close-related, so we can think that Vao was invented long time ago!
