Knights have a little secret. And that secret is: they're almost doubly
colourbound. A narrow Knight is, a wide Knight is, and a certain
configuration of Knight moves is even bound to 1/5th of the board. Knights
alternate 1/4 bindings whenever they move. Thus, I propose the
Quadrant-Changing Rook. The Quadrant-Changing Rook is the same as a normal
Rook, but it must change what quadrant of the board it resides. This piece
is absolutely horrid in development, and awkward in the endgame. What is
this piece's strength?
