A Fairy chess piece invented by K. Schilz in 1943 that possesses the power of one piece when advancing and of another when retreating. No hunter can move laterally.

If I’m thinking for more than 20 minutes about one move, it’s usually a waste. Sometimes you can come up with some amazing solution but most of the time you just end up looping: you consider a move, you reject it, then you’re desperate, you come back to the move, you don’t remember why you rejected it, you have to make a move so you make it – then your opponent replies and you remember why you rejected it.
