Lion (2). Moves on queen-lines but must jump exactly one piece. Appears in fairy chess problems.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

This basically is similar to the Korean Cannon (there BTW should be Korean piece pages too)

The verb "to take" is confusing on this page. Once it used to mean "capture" which is common understanding I think.

But it is also written "a lion can move more squares after taking the `hurdle'". I believe that the lion is never capturing the hurdle. So, "after hopping the hurdle" would be more correct, except if I have misunderstood that move.

Judging by the diagram, this is the Korean version of the Leo, which combines the Cannon and Vao from Chinese Chess.

It’s worth to mention that this piece is called Quetzal in maya-style game Chak
