Fugue. Based on Ultima and Rococo this game has pieces that capture in unusual ways. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

The apparent ambiguity in the Roccoco rules for the Long Leaper were
carried over into the rules for Fugue.

Since the Fugue Long Leaper cannot make multiple captures, there is no
need for the phrase 'jump over adjacent pieces' and I hereby remove it
from the rules. (Could an editor make this change as soon as convenient?)

In Fugue, a capture such as 

+--+--+--+--+--+
|LL|  |p |p | x|
+--+--+--+--+--+

is illegal as a multiple capture in any case, regardless of the ambiguous
'adjacent pieces', while

+--+--+--+--+--+
|LL|p |  |  | x|
+--+--+--+--+--+

is legal as in ultima and Rococco.
