Maybe Gilman already has SO, Sideways only? Anyway, a new piece class for
Gilman's system can be the Jabberwockies. Gilman's FO has ''directions
moving more ranks forward than files sideways'' in M&Bxx.  Jabberwockies
are *more files sideways than ranks forward*. Betza has some wide-only
Knight that  shows the idea. The class of pieces should be for Gilman's
number '28', because 28 is a perfect number (1+2+4+7+14=28). Some
Jabberwockies are flip pieces, most are not. Flipping is optional at end of
move, or player may flip without moving, in lieu of turn. Understand no
diagonal move is possible. (1) Jabberwocky himself is compound Knight +
Camel. (2) Borogove is flip piece as Knight/ flip mode Wazir. (3)
Bandersnatch is Dabbabah plus Knight. (4) Brilligs are weak Trebouchets(0,3).
(5) Only King may go all 8 standard directions, of which Jabberwockies as a
class only avail E and W. But together all the Jabberwockies, including
promotees, conceivable have more than 8 directions because of the
''oblique infinity'' factor different from that radial east and west.
