The Gaul captures like a bishop, but makes non-capturing moves in two legs, by leaping diagonally over an intervening piece and temporarily land on the empty square immediately behind the piece. From there it slides like a rook on any of the two orthogonals in the prolonged movement direction. The Gaul is dependent on 'screens' for moving, but as it can capture directly on the diagonals it can have a positional influence also when it's unable to make non-capturing moves. Other rules are the same as in standard chess, except for the possible promotion to Gaul. |
