In another game Charles Daniel notes the identity of ''Conjurer'' and Omega Chess Wizard, respecting the commercial game. USP5690334 in next to last paragraph covers Falcon (8x10, 9x10, 10x10 and larger) moving to (2,4) + (3,4) in its mode ''jumping or leaping over an intervening piece as the Knight can'' as lesser alternative. Normally, Falcon is multi-path slider unlike here. Patented Falcon is first use of mover to those squares in any game, although the compound was named as ''Bison,'' exclusively a leaper, in a 1970's problem, not a CV. Where both sides use Bison, one of hundreds of choices within PTPBC, USP5690334 applies, there being the same orthodox piece mix, generally speaking, with Falcon-Bison. Put simply, any superset such as the Daniel version additionally dropping pieces is included. This comment sufficently notes the welcome experimental noncommercial use of Falcon-Bison on 10x10 with orthodox piece mix (hypothetically if it were ever actually played), in order to protect the proprietorship. The particular embodiment where both sides use Bison here, one of hundreds, is therefore under coverage of USP5690334. As before stated and acted on, anyone can use Falcon on 8x8, as one of Joyce's presets, Forriere's Bifocal, and Aronson's smaller Horus. Other Falcon-Bison uses are Herd (8x8) and Gilman's Great Herd. Thanks all for the sometimes attention to detail.
