The definition given is that of an equihopper, not an equileaper.
Equileaper
Combination of all possible (m,n) leapers where m and n are both even. This piece can leap to any square that is a multiple of 2 squares distant both vertically and horizontally.

You are right Joost unfortunately the same definition is given in Strategem also 🤔

Quick question: can an equileaper make a nullmove? The definition doesn’t prohibit it.

No. It wasn’t my intention and It hasn’t been programmed like that in WinChloe too. The definition “all combinations of x and y where x and y are both even” seems to suggest it can make a null move. “x,y >0” should perhaps be added! My original definition was it moves/captures like a non-stop Equihopper with or without a hurdle.

Probably x+y>0 (x=0 and y>0 or vice versa is allowed).

Joost has given the right definition of Equileaper. Another way to describe it is Equileaper can visit/attack every square an Equi-hopper can. No hurdles needed !

@Julia: Can you fix the Equileaper definition?
