If I understand you, the Templar may ride two spaces diagonally as a Bishop, or it may leap two spaces orthogonally. In other words, it combines the moves of a Chinese Chess Elephant and a Dababbah. In case those pieces aren't already known to you, this is to say that it can be blocked diagonally, but it cannot be blocked orthogonally. Is this correct?
