The rules do not specify whether the initial King jump can capture or not. So in the Diagram I assumed it can.

Thank you. I intended it to be non-capturing so I've corrected the rules and diagram.

OK, I already suspected this was an omission. Nice collection of bent riders, BTW. (Ski-sliders are also bent riders...) This really looks like a nice variant, with many original or rarely used pieces. I like the distribution of piece values; with Ski-Bishop and Zebra you added two Knight-class minors. And many of the other pieces seem not unduly strong (if we believe the Diagram's guesstimates), about halfway between Rook and Queen.
