The Ninja Guard can actually jump over friendly pieces,
although the move Diagram shows it as a sliding move.
It cannot jump over enemies without taking them, though, so it is not a normal Alfil jump.
I assumed the sceptre must be taken by a legal move,
and thus cannot venture into check while doing it.
