Don't the King's Knight moves give it a total of 16 squares it can move
to, not 10?

I'm not sure I understand how the Vampire moves. What is a distance
capture? Does the piece sit in place while capturing a neighboring piece?

From the perspective of the contest, I like how systematically the number
ten has been woven into the game, but taken by itself, my main impression
of the game is that it has a high learning curve. Most of the pieces are
new, and some with familiar names move very differently. Given the size of
the board, I would expect that limiting the range of all the pieces will
hurt the game. Also, few pieces are natural complements of each other, as
for example, the Rook and Bishop are in Chess. I haven't played it yet,
but my first impressions aren't very promising.
