Btw, what is the name of the (2,4) jumper?

It doesn't have a listing here (that I can find), but the Wikipedia article gives it the names Hare, Lancer, or Stag.

For one of my variants, I initially used the Lancer form until it was pointed out to me that it would be colorbound to only one-fourth of the board, so the (2,4) leap isn't much use except in a combination piece like the Wyvern (3,3)(2,4)(1,5) from Beastmaster Chess. (I ended up keeping the Lancer name, but made its move N2cnDH.)
