But why bishop's additional orthogonal move to change color of square necessary must be forward? Why it can't be in any direction?

I don't inderstand the question. The piece that I rejected can move orthogonally only forward. The one that I eventually settled on can move (and, of course, capture) one step along all fouer orthogonals.

This is a straightforward CV by Gilman.  To suit the constricted board, he decides to use Shogi promotees for Bishop and Rook, adding Wazir and Ferz respectively.  Pawns are Centennial-acclaimed Quadra-pawns.  Some restriction on Knight at inside corners.  That's it.  Should be playable enough short games.  

But the piece in right corner needs correction to King.

I changed the extra Queen to a King.
