hey, thanks.  the rules are horribly written, i can't tell if this because
it's not a good translation, or cause schoenberg's original rules were
written badly also.  it's not clear to me if the plane can only capture at
the end of the second move, or if it can capture on the first and then
make a second knight move (chushogi lion-style), but it's more likely that
he meant the former, in which case his claim that the plane is the most
powerful piece is false, considering that the sub is equivalent to the
amazon.  anyway, i'll add it to my (long) cv to-do list to submit a page
to the editors for linking to these pages.
