We certainly have come a long way since Shatranj! This game combines Royal Queens with a fascinating selection of long range pieces. As for the [2006-12-29] question, in my experience a royal piece can legally step away from a Cannon (or Vao or Lion) along the line of attack. Once you pick the royal piece up, it no longer serves as a screen to the attacking piece. The 'britishchess.zip' file should verify my interpretation.
