Crooked

Could "crooked" (Hillary/Bidan) also refer to chess?

The Crooked Bishop

As I said elsewhere,

The Bishop is a color-bound and long-range piece of a certain value. A Bishop substitute must have the correct value, of course; but in addition, in order for it to feel like a Bishop, it should be either a long-range or a color-bound piece (or both!).

Unfortunately, the basic geometrical pieces, to which I have thus far devoted most of my efforts, are not long range. Recently, I have started looking at strange long-range pieces, and have invented a piece which I think may be completely new:

The Crooked Bishop

The Crooked Bishop is a Bishop that must make a 90 degree turn with every step, and must of course always keep moving away from its starting square.

How the Crooked Bishop Moves

For example, a Crooked Bishop on e4 could move one square to d5, or it could make a four-step move by going to d5 and then (only if d5 is empty) continuing on to e6 and then (if e6 is empty) to d7 and then (d7 being empty) to e8.
