45. Round. The Round is another piece whose name is defined by its move, even if the order did come the other way around. It combines the move of the Rook, Knight, and Dabbabah, but the Knight move (and only the Knight move) has two special properties: one, it can go off the left or right edge of the board and go to the other side as if it were a cylinder; and two, instead of capturing an enemy piece, it switches places. (RouND)
I wasn't quite sure how to represent the piece's ability to wrap around left-to-right; this was my best guess.
I actually have two models for this piece: one based on its name, and the other on its move. I personally like the second one better, but I rather expect that most people will prefer the first.
(The arrow is actually a double-headed arrow, pointing both ways to indicate the ability to "loop" around left and right.)
