| The Crossrook slides like a bishop. It can make a capture by jumping over a piece of any colour. If an enemy piece is positioned immediately behind the jumped piece it will be captured (this is a "strong" Crossrook). But if the square behind the jumped piece is empty then the Crossrook can slide like a rook in the prolonged movement direction (two alternative directions).
There is also a variant where Scorpions take the place of the pawns. The Scorpion has the additional moves of a Knight, but only in two forward directions: east-north-east, and west-north-west. There are no additional capture moves. |
