Orphan. Moves like a piece that attacks it.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Very interesting piece, but unfortunately, the second example diagram and
the accompanying text is flawed. The black King *is* able to move to g4,
because there is no Orphan on f4. Rather, the text should say: 'note that
[the black King] can not move to *g6*, because it would then attack the
Orphan on *f7*, which would check the black King.' Additionally, the white
pawn should be moved one step forward, to f3, to prevent the King from
moving to g4.

If that hadn't been flawed, I'd rate the page 'Excellent'. :)
