Bent Riders. A discussion of pieces, like the Gryphon, that take a step then move as riders.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I was thinking of some very mighty pieces, probably playable only on very large board, 12x12 or more.

Those pieces could threaten wide bands of lines

Piece 1: compound of Gryphon/Eagle + Rook (I once suggested to Zied to call it a Dragon)

Piece 2: compound of (W-then-B) + Bishop (I once suggested to Zied to call it a Basilisk)

Piece 3: compound of Gryphon + (A-then-R)

Piece 4: compound of (W-then-B) + (D-then-R)

Why stopping there, one can have also compound of P1+P3 and of P2+P4, threatening even wider bands, probably more than crazy.

I was wondering if anyone had used them in CVs?
