164. Grasshopper. I finish out this week of new-to-me/old-to-you pieces with one that I didn't even figure out how to model until yesterday afternoon.
The Grasshopper moves along a Queen's lines, but must jump over another piece, and lands on the first space beyond the hurdle.
The White Grasshopper here can jump over the White Pawn, Bishop, or Knight, or the Black Pawn or the first Black Rook. It can capture the Black Knight or the second Black Rook, but not the Black Bishop because it's too far away.
(I did get that right, didn't I?)
I do think, though, that I got the piece right.
