Yes Charles, thanks for clarifying your thoughts.
Cool then! My Ajax pieces are a unique original invention then! :-)
This is one of the reasons why I didn't want my Ajax Rooks, Bishops and Knights to be able to capture with their 'adopted' moves:
This position is from an Ajax Chess game after 5.Bc1-i7 with the Bishop pinning Black's Knight.
Should the Black Knight be able to capture on it's one-square 'adopted' moves, this type of pins would be impossible, for ... Nxi7 would remove the threat.
In my opinion this would make the game boring, and eliminate some of the chess tactics we are accustomed to.
To play with Rooks that capture like a Ferz, Bishops that capture like a Wazir and Knights that capture like a king; try Ruggero Micheletto's Ultra Chess.
