(4) We shall have 100 versions of the piece. The number four version of Falcon is MARSH HAWK. Marsh Hawk flies low and slowly, a sight to behold. (Species M.H. suffers from the general loss of amphibeans worldwide as a result, to M.H., of pointless destructive civilisation population-exploded.) Like Osprey, switch-backing piece-type M.H. follows only Rook-lines, but has different modality. MARSH HAWK does have 3 legs like OSPREY. M.H. first leg is either 2 or 3 or 4 steps in one orthogonal direction. M.H. can only move to the Camel(2,4) or Zebra(3,4) square from behind orthogonally one step, or sideways if after two prior legs. So, M.H. second leg, upon 90-degree turn, is also either 2, 3, or 4. The third leg is the (mandatory) one step switching back another 90 degrees. An example from b2 is b2-b3-b4-b5-b6-c6-d6-d5, thus one way to move b2-d5, capturing or not. Blocking is possible at any of the intermediate squares, voiding the pathway. MARSH HAWK. Properly Northern Harrier (Circus cyaneus).
