Wazir. (Updated!) Moves one square orthogonally.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

'The Wazir, or Generalissimo. He moved straight, only one square (...). It is evident, however, that he could, 'slowly, but surely' cover all the squares of the board, hence is value was greater than that of the Farz which could cover no more than one half of the board.

(Forbes, page 141)

Is this true? I had the idea that, even colorbound, the Ferz was slightly more valuable..
