I just had to burst out laughing upon reading George Duke's comment. I
would say that the Falcon is indeed lame; it's 'lame' in the sense that
it cannot jump over intervening pieces. (It has multiple routes to each
destination square, but all can be blocked.) That is what is normally
meant when a piece is referred to as a 'lame piece'.
I don't think Charles Gilman was saying, 'Oh, that Falcon is so
lame...' :-)
