Rhino. A set of pieces which combine the movements of the Mao with that of the Wazir.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Since I have been reviewing my Man and Beast series, and many members have been commenting on Leaping/Missing Bat Chess, it has occurred to me that Curved pieces alternating Wazir and Ferz steps do indeed belong in the 'Rhino' group of pieces, and a reference to the Curved pieces and the use of effectively a Curved Double Rhino in L/MBC would be a worthy addition to this page. The Curved pieces too start off with the Mao or Moa or Moo move. They also retain the constant turn of 45° of the Crooked pieces, unlike the Rose which alternates the angles of two different Crooked Nightriders.
