1 Jun 2001None Peter, you are right! I've made the corrections. Hans Bodlaender
19 Apr 2001None Another discrepancy. On this page it says:

Forfnibakking: jumps like a knight in forwards direction, or moves like a queen sideways or backwards.

But on the Nutty Knights page it says:

The Forfnibakking, or fhNrlbK, has the four forward directions of the Knight plus the sideways and rearward moves of the King.

I'd suspect that the latter is correct, given the funny notation string that gave the piece its name.

19 Apr 2001None There's a slight inconsistency between the castling rules given here:

Castling is as usual: pieces that start the game on a1, a8, h1, or h8 can castle like a rook in FIDE-chess.

And those given on the Colorbound Clobbers page:

Castling:When the Colorbound Clobberers castle Queen-side, O-O-O, their King goes from e1 to b1 and their BD goes from a1 to c1; this change was made so that the BD does not change from one color of square to the other.

Which is correct?
