I'm not sure if that is a correct reading of the piece, Joe. The description of Ajax Orthodox Chess doesn't explicitly say that the Minister cannot capture on the second perimeter. Jose Carillo does identify the piece with both the Pasha and the Mastodon, and in code he is developing for this game, the Minister has not been programmed as a divergent piece. What is misleading in his description is that he calls it a minor piece. The Minister, Pasha, Mastodon or whatever you call it is a major piece, though a short-range one.
