Hi, David. Ah, it came through a mis-reading of the rules. 'Moving a piece that has already been moved during the turn costs an extra point (ie. adds 1 point to the total cost of the move).' I took it to mean that each time you move a queen through a space it is a separate movement. But I think the meaning is that each time you move a linear piece into a new direction it would cost an extra point, no?
Sorry for my misinterpretation. I sometimes tend to stumble my way slowly through games I'm learning.
(With pieces that allow changes in direction as part of their movement, such as Atlantean Barroom Shatranjian piece, switches in direction could happen without additional penalty.)
