For instance, this position is an easy win for the Guanaco because it can easily hop to squares f5 and h5 and put pressure on the white pawns. This keeps the white king bound, and then the black king can advance. Zillions finds the win easily, too. However, in opening and middlegame the Guanaco cannot make much threats because of its short capture distance (only one square orthogonally). Anyway, it's interesting that a piece, having maximally only four capture squares, can compete with a bishop that has maximally 13 capture squares (14 on the Gustavian board). /Mats
