Questions and comments:

1. How exactly does the bishop 'turn' work?  Can a bishop turn more
than
once?  Either way, this leads to 3 distinct movements.  Is this such a
good
idea?  This sounds like an incredibly powerful piece at covering squares
of
one colour at close range.

2. Similarly, is the knight a NN2 (Nightrider restricted to 2 leaps) or
able to change directions in it's leap?  'For a check only the last
position of the knight counts, not the first leap while in motion.' This
statement doesn't make sense to me.

3. Although the bishop and knight might become extremely powerful, the
stronger pawn chains might counteract this a bit.

4. Saying that your game 'aims at being a logical evolution to the game
of chess' is not a good idea from my experience.  It seems terribly
close
to those (many) failed games that claim to make chess obsolete.
