It's earlier in the thread. Here's how it moves: Moves a forward Bishop,
then backward Rook, then forward Bishop, moving the same distance each
step, without jumping. Can also move bR bR fB and all other combinations of two fB moves
and 1 bR move, or two bR moves and 1 fB move, just like George Duke's
Falcon, but moving unlimited and having the step directions restricted to
the fB and bR moves. Also, it does not have to land on a piece to capture
it. It simply has to step on it at the end of a fB or bR step. Note that
this mimics the hunting style of a real falcon. There is a restriction,
however, that it may only capture 1 piece in a turn. The alternative form
can also move without being restricted by other pieces. If you can, implement in on the Falcon Chess board with one side having George Duke's Falcons, and one side having my Falcons replace his. An optional second test if my Falcons lose is to use the unrestricted version instead.

Here is an example of when it moves 2 bR fB X bR.
