@Fergus,

Trying to edit a preset for this interesting variant by using the fairychess include file I'm almost done, just need to define the function of the Osprey which is a color-bound aanca, first jumping as dabbabah and then sliding outward as bishop. The following diagram shows its move:

I guess the code for Osprey-Range would look like this:

def Osprey-Range mergeall 
  leaps #0 2 0 
  rays where #0 0 2 1 1 
  rays where #0 0 -2 1 1 
  rays where #0 2 0 1 1 
  rays where #0 -2 0 1 1;

and the Osprey-Desc thus: 

"The %s jumps to the second square on the same rank or file, and then slides outward as a bishop."

Could you please tell me the code for such a function? No hurry; when you can spend some time it's fine. Thanks in advance.
