As I understand it, the Ninja can only move like a King if it is not making 2+ captures. Is that correct?
Greg: Could you please to post here the URL of the preset? It is not available from the "Related" menu and I would like to invite sxg to playtest his invention. Also please check the preset's "Exclude Pieces not in Setup" box. Thanks!

You won't find it on the related menu because this isn't intended to be an official preset. Just something I threw together (although you're certainly welcome to use it.) And thanks for letting me know that I forgot to check the Exclude Pieces not in Setup box!
P.S. Any time you want to use a preset from an existing game, you can just open that game and click the Menu button.
This page is using two different images for the Guard. Neither one fully corresponds to how the piece moves. The one in the diagram suggests movement as a King but not as an Alfil. The one beside the description suggests movement as an Alfil or Wazir, but not as a Ferz.

This is certainly an interesting concept. I am interested to try it out, so I've posted a Game Courier invitation.
