Piececlopedia: Antelope
Historical notes
The antelope is a less well-known fairy chess piece. I know of no games
that use it. Torsten Linss has a few problems
using the antelope.
Movement
The antelope is a (3,4)-jumper, i.e., it moves (with or without taking)
four squares horizontally and five vertically, or five squares
horizontally and four vertically.
It `jumps', i.e., it can move regardless
whether the intervening squares are occupied or not.
Movement diagram
In the diagram below, the antelope can move to all the squares marked with
a black circle.
This is an item in the Piececlopedia: an overview of
different (fairy) chess pieces.
