Flamingo. (1,6)-jumper.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Thank you both for your replies.

I got to thinking that the (1,5)-leaper could perhaps be called a Crane,
continuing the idea of long range leapers being named after birds, as with
the flamingo.

However, I found that Crane was being used elsewhere.

The (1,5)-leaper is colour-bound, so would play quite differently to a
flamingo.
