Hippogonal




For example, the knight itself moves two squares in one orthogonal direction and one in the other—it moves hippogonally. It is a (1,2) hippogonal mover, sometimes referred to as a (1,2) leaper.

Other hippogonally moving pieces include the camel, a Fairy Chess Piece , which moves three squares in one direction and one in the other, and thus is a (1,3) hippogonal mover.
