Examples

In this example the 'Z' can move diagonal and then over. The # shows were the 'Z' can go.

In this example the 'K' can move normally, but can only move toward the 'H' if there is an 'H'. When it's next to the 'H' then the king can move as a rook in chess. The # shows were the 'K' can go, the % shows were the 'H' can go, the * shows were either piece can go.

.....|.....|..*.%
###..|.#..H|..#H.
#K#..|.K#..|##K#*

This example shows the Doubler. The 'c' can't change the 'D' into 'd' because it must move double on its turn. The 'c' can move anywhere that the # is.
