John Smith finds there are more possibilities for bifurcation pieces. Jeliss and 20th
Century problemists must have had nearly ten. Winther has added 40 or 50.
Like most piece-type categories, there are almost unlimited imaginative
possibilities. Only bland long-range leapers seem restricted by the board size. That is definitely bifurcation, but it would be better with
three-path Falcon. Then sometimes player would have choice of direction of
continuation after the capture, depending on the pathway chosen to
indicate. The Falcon-Hunter version instead, as described by John Smith, would overlap with some of Winther's already
conceived, differing only in the reverse direction.
