15 Dec 2001Excellent One web page for Cardinal Super Chess states: "Because of the Cardinals' unique movement, a combination of a knight and a bishop, it gathers the initiative into one sweeping action." This naturally leads to the mistaken conclusion that it is the usual B+N piece. But the second web page given for this commercial variant shows the move to be a non-leaping Camel. I tested the piece on the applet provided and saw the program move a Bishop to block my Cardinal check. - David Paulowich
