Pieces
The Pieces, by equivalent FIDE pieces:
The Rooks: The Crowned Panda (Slip Dragon King/qRF)
This piece combines the moves of the Ferz, and the Slip Rook which is a Rook, but only to squares of different colour than the starting square. Thus, starting from a1 it can reach a2, a4, a6, a8, b1, d1, f1, and h1. It can be blocked on the fields it can reach, but jumps over pieces on the fields of the same colour as the starting field.
The Queen: The Sloppy Amazon
Just as the Slip Rook only reaches the 1st, 3rd, 5th ... square in straight directions, one can define the Slip Bishop to reach the 1st, 3rd, ... square in diagonal direction. The Sloppy Amazon is a Slip Queen-(1,0 ; 0,1 ; 1,0) Decomposed Leaper Compound which combines the movements of the Slip Rook, the Slip Bishop, and the Knight restricted to making it's move in 3 Wazir steps in a zigzag manner.
The Knights: The Sloppy Knight (fhNqbBbD)
This piece combines the moves of the forward half Knight, the backward slip Bishop, and the backward Dabbaba.
The Bishops: The War Bear (qBnD)
This piece combines the moves of the slip Bishop and the lame Dabbaba (Dabbaba restricted to making it's move in 2 {1,0} steps).
