Thank you for testing this piece. All bifurcators must always move along *two* legs. So an orthogonally blocked Dimachaer cannot move. While this piece type always involves movement along a diagonal, I think they are capable of penetrating the position finely. But they are handicapped by the requirement of a screen. Due to this it'¨s possible that the piece power changes depending on piece density.
