Since you people are being so kind and helpful, I have another cluster of questions (my last for the foreseeable future).  Charles Gilman proposed the name Beaver (a bigger rodent than the Squirrel) for a piece leaping to any square on the third perimeter.  Has such a piece ever been used?  I am aware of the Camel, the Zebra, and the Bison; have pieces leaping to the third square orthogonally or diagonally or both ever been used?  I am aware of the Grande Acedrez, but as I noted there I think the lion has the dabbabah's move.
