Ah, now there I would disagree. As far as I am aware, a variant combining Cylindrical or Billiards properties with self-capture doesn't allow an actual piece to capture itself as once it moves it is no longer wbere it started and so cannot be captured there. Likewise the Cannon is no longer where it started and so cannot be hopped there.
