Excellent question.
Joe's correct. It's an unfortunate restriction. If I had the programming skills at my fingertips, I would add a variant where the options of movement were indicated by colors that shifted to reflect pathways of newly formed aggregates.
Meanwhile, Color Rider Chess doesn't suffer from this problem but because of presumed difficulties of envisioning aggregate pathways, I contracted the board so I fear it might be piece heavy. Unfortunately, Color Rider Chess imposes its own limit of forcing one to match colors. Again, I did that to un-complicate the visuals.
