H. G. Muller writes: 'This might be a good place to point out that the Mao, Moa and Moo do not exhaust the possibilities of lame Knight moves. They are the only possibilities as you lay out the Knight's leap on the board as an orthogonal + diagonal step (in either order). But there are other paths that lead to a (1,2) leap as well.'

The exact path taken by a Knight or Wizard is also significant in Fergus Duniho's Wormhole Chess. In that variant the pieces skip over the former locations of squares that have been removed from the game.
