The Bowman either preforms the classic knight-leap or captures without moving the second diagonal or orthogonal. The Dragon leaps over adjacent cells to any second or third cell. The ArchDeacon slides diagonal or leaps to the second orthogonal. The Queen slides diagonal or orthogonal, or leaps over adjacent cells to any second cell.
