The difficult thing about programming this game is the Rhino. I'm sure Game Courier could do it, but it is probably beyond my abilities.

Also, I don't think this move can be described in XBetza notation, so I assume the interactive diagram can't do it.

The Rhino is an interesting piece. It can be attacking a piece, slide towards it or away from it along that ray, and no longer be able to attack it. This is because each ray is really two overlapping rays that are 50% out-of-phase.
