This move is not clear at all for me: "it slides diagonally like a Rook, but can only capture by jumping over an obstacle and landing on the first space beyond."

First, my Rooks do not slide diagonally.

Then, from that text, I don't see the difference with the xiangqi's Cannon.

Finally, I'm not sure to understand the Betza's code, [cR-fmW], I interpret that it capture as a Rook, then it does 1 Wazir non-capturing step in the same direction. Which is not corresponding to the diagram, so I might be wrong.

The first part is a brain glitch; I meant diagonally, of course.

The rest is just bad writing on my part, yet another thing that needs to be fixed.
