Claudio: The 'sub-sissas' you mention are possible.

I'm not sure if you understand sissa's move rightly or not. The direction of the second stage of the movement has no restriction regarding to the first. For instance, let's suppose the sissa is on d1 over a 10x10 board. If we move it first 3 squares like rook to d4, then the second stage NOW LIKE BISHOP can be in any of the four possible directions:

1) 3 steps towards g7, or
2) 3 steps towards a7, or
3) 3 steps towards a1, or
4) 3 steps towards g1.

If, viceversa, we move it first like bishop 3 squares to (say) g4, then the second stage NOW LIKE ROOK can be in any of the four possible directions:

1) 3 steps towards j4, or
2) 3 steps towards g7, or
3) 3 steps towards d4, or
4) 3 steps towards g1.

Hopefully some day you encourage to play a game of Cetran Chess 2 with me. Then you would see with a whole evidence that this piece is a true WONDER OF NATURE!
