No.580 by Newman Guttman – A twomover with author’s favorite piece – Equihopper! Same, as in No.497, it is Equihopper at 90º, implemented in WinChloe only. (JV)


Definitions:

Equihopper at 90º (WinChloe’s version): Moves like a Non-stop Equihopper but deflects 90° either way on passing over the hurdle.

Non-Stop Equihopper (NE): Moves along any line over another unit of either colour to a square situated such that the hurdle stands at the mid-point between the Equihopper’s departure and arrival squares. The English (standard) Equihopper cannot pass over an obstruction other than the hurdle when playing along Queen-lines. The non-stop/French Equihopper does not have this restriction. 

Grasshopper-2 (G2): As Grasshopper but moves not to the square immediately beyond the jumped unit but to the next square on the same line.

Grasshopper(G): Moves along Q-lines over another unit of either color to the square immediately beyond that unit. A capture may be made on arrival, but the hurdle is not affected.
