I think we've clarified that a Bishop cannot pass through a transfer field on its move. To switch color, it must stop on a transfer field, and then it may use its next move to switch to spaces of the other color.

My next question concerns which directions of movement are available to a Bishop on a transfer field. Let's say a Bishop is on a4/4. I presume it can move to a5, b5, c5, or c3, but it cannot move to a3. Likewise, a Bishop on h5/5 could move to h4, g4, f4, and g6 but not to h6. Is that correct?
