"In this diagram, it looks like the Bishop can move from b5 to b3 or from g4 to g6. Is that a correct interpretation?" Yes, that is the correct interpretation. Step by step: The bishop can change his diagonal. That's the point of this variant. From b5 to b3 or from g4 to g6 (and so on up/down the diagonal) means that the bishop has changed his diagonal. Isn't that absolutely new? I mean yes. You have to understand the transfer fields as mediators between two diagonals (colors). Transfer fields are ambivalent and allow the 'color change'. No more and no less, but this is clearly more than normal chess has to offer.
