Mightly Like a Rose. A Systematic Set of Names for Pieces following Curved, Crooked, and Bent Paths.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Restricting the Rose to 6 leaps actually only rules out a null move. This is because the 7-leap move is only a lame duplication of the unblockable 1-leap move. It is the equivalent of restricting a Rook to 6 steps on a wraparound 8x8 board, or 14 steps on a Byzantine board.
