Falcon Chess articles support Falcon as a Multi-path chess piece, not either a leaper or rider. 'Lameness' is an insulting term applied by Aronson in 2004 to Falcon after Ralph Betza initiated its use in 2003 for a specialized Dabbabah(then Betza disappeared). Pejorative 'Lame' was never used before 2003 for Chess. Actually, confusing the issue, Aronson says Falcon is 'not lame' or different from what a 'lame Bison' would be, without trying to define it. So 'lameness' is now bandied about for Falcon. No other piece that I know of is tried to classify as 'lame' since they came up with that in 2003. Friends use 'Multi-path'. Sorry, David, David P. had no Bison in 1994 ECV, and so what is known Falcon is first mover in a game to those Falcon-Bison 2-4,3-4 squares, and the best implementation, therefore it is Bison deriving. ECV has the 1920's Maus' Cavalry's R-Camel-Zebra leaper of little value since, showing no question compound leapers exist prior to proliferation.
