There is still one thing that is not clear to me: does the Samnis test for a screen purely sideways from its initial R leg, or does it test along a backward F step? I.e. in the diagram below, would the Samnis at e4 be able to also move to g5-h6 and c5-b6-a7 (due to Pe3), or just to b3-a2 and f7-g8?
