Peter actually wrote the rules. After reading the following rule, my opinion is that the long leaper cannot capture the enemy piece on x2. Here's the rule (emphasis mine):
<blockquote>
These marked squares on the edge of the board are edge squares, and a move may only end on an edge square if necessary for a capture. Or in other words, a piece may only end up on an edge square by making a capturing move that would not be possible without landing on <u><b>the</b></u> edge square. This includes moves that start on edge squares. The Swapper's swap move is considered a capture for purposes of edge squares.
</blockquote>
<p>My interpretation of this rule is that a piece may not move on to edge square x, unless it would not be possible to make a capture by <b>not</b> landing on edge square x.
<p>Since in this case, it is possible to make the capture by not landing on x1, and it is also possible to make the capture by not landing on x0, <b>neither</b> x1 and x0 can be landed on by the long leaper. If the enemy piece were on x1, then x0 would be a legal landing square.
<p>This is my opinion -- Peter may have another...
