The definition 'Multiple Displacer' is of special interest to me as it describes my suggested (and intended to be realistic!) compromise between the Indian and Chinese forms of the Elephant piece. 'Ranger' suggests I might have to rethink my suggested piece names such as Marshranger (Rook+Rose) and Cardiranger (Bishop+Rose). However this is not my reason for stopping short of an 'Excellent' rating. That is because I understood that in movement there was an additional type 'Stepper', describing Xiang Qi's blockable Elephant and Horse.
