That's a good point. The subject has got a bit away from its original
title. By 'integer leapers' I meant pieces leaping an exact multiple of
the Wazir's move. For example, the Antelope as a 4:3 leaper moves the same
distace as the 5:0 leaper but in an oblique direction. Of particular
interest to me were those which could be associated with pieces leaping the
root of that distance. You will see from my opening comment that I
expressed 4:3 as 2:1 squared, 12:5 as 3:2 squared, 15:8 as 4:1 xquared, and
in 3d 8:4:1 s 2:2:1 squared. I ignored 8:6 as 3:1 squared as only trivially
distinct from the first. Now that I have completed the changes most
directly based on these relationships, should I move the discussion to a
new thread?
