There is one thing in classic Shogi variants, wich amazes me: among
hundrends of pieces, there is only two pieces, wich have knight moves: this
and Heavenly horse ( only in Wa Shogi), wich have also respective backward
moves of Honourable horse! Of course, there is some pieces, wich technicaly
can leap as knight (e.g.: Lion), but these moves just logicaly comes after
common description of thier moves. For europeans it looks unbelievable,
there is some piece with knight move or some it's variant almost in any
variant of European chess!
Note: possible, there is some other pieces with kinght's move in Taikyoku
Shogi, i did not read it's description (if you know, what is Taikyoku
Shogi, you know, why i did not read it's description).
