It's interesting that the Nightrider is relatively popular, while the Knight equivalent to a Pao (Cannon) and Vao (diagonal equivalent) is in obscurity.
They are alike in terms of complexity. The latter is more challenging to defend against, even though it's weaker.
(Also, the diagram of its movement is currently hosted on an external site, with a warning on the page.)
This piece has also been called a Cao, probably the C coming from cavalry
I've corrected the diagram
I'm going to research the value soonThanks, source for this piece BTW is All The King's men and Julia's Fairies and on this page http://www.jurajlorinc.com/chess/mycompo.htm
Added the diagram, will fix error with dot tomorrowI'll make this page larger tomorrow. Could someone change the index description to 'Moves like nightrider, but must jump when taking'?

I found this page while browsing "Piece articles" under "Explore". Why is there and not in "Piececlopedia" is strange.
Shouldn't this page be moved?
