Note that a move only succeeds if all its legs meet the specified target. So what you write here only succeeds if you get off board in all directions. Which would be  the case on a 1x1 board, but there the entire test would be redundant.

As I mentioned in the original paragraph, oflabaoslabaofly was erroneous; the next sentence gave an improved oabaflabalabayflK, which (theoretically) attempts to move off-board to the back, on-board front-left, and on-board front-right before sliding forward.
