Weird facts: the Nao has never been used in a game, but the Nightrider in Jumping Knights Chess performs capturing moves in an opposite manner. Continuing a proposal by Peter Aronson, this game requires every piece to capture "checkers fashion" by moving beyond the target piece. An example follows:

Hopefully the Nao movement diagram will still be here in the future. Suppose we change the Nao to a Nightrider and place this diagram in the center of the Jumping Knights Chess 10x10 board. Then the Black Queen shields the White Queen, while the White Rook can be captured by a two-step Nightrider move to the "zero rank".
