Any chance of re-rating AOF 1 now that I have removed what you ere complaining about? The description of the Falcon's move there now reads: 'The FALCON (F) moves to the same destinations as the Bison, but cannot leap. It makes three steps in a mixture of one orthogonal and one diagonal direction, making either one or two 45° turns but no turns of any other angle. It has three alternative routes to each destination, but is blocked from reaching that destination if there is an intervening piece on every route, of any army or mixture thereof. It was invented in two dimensions by G. W. Duke for Falcon Chess. It has more directions to move in on this board, though not as many as it would on a board with more levels.'
