| 24 | It moves by jumping in L like a knight, or a little bit further: | |
| 25 | three squares in one direction then one aside. | |

| 49 | A friend and I talked some day (in 2019) about a variant where pieces | |
| 50 | would hit a ball to bring it to the opposite side. | |

| 52 | because hitting the ball led to somewhat blocked situations. |
