I have always loved the great leaper pieces like the Zebra, Camel and Giraffe but found them painful to maneuver around, so i have given them the power to also move like the Wazir (1 square orthogonal) or Fers (1 square diagonal).
These pieces play in all the 4 variants of 'Leapers Creeepers' * ZebraKing : moves like Zebra + wazir * CamelKing : moves like Camel + wazir * GiraffeQueen : moves like Giraffe + Fers
Also, i've added some pieces from Chinese/Korean chess, that also move
like the Wazir * 1st variant plays with MaoKing (Chinese Horse). * 2nd variant plays with SangKing (Korean Elephant). * 3rd variant plays with XiangKing (Chinese Elephant). * 4th variant plays with just the leapers (lay back variant).
