How about 'dismembered' for completely lacking a move in a certain direction? For a slider that needs to travel a certain minimum numbers of steps, but still can be blocked there (the Tamerlane Picket is another example) you could use the qualification 'remote'. (If it would leap over the squares entirely it would be a 'ski-slider'. Which is a sort of degenerate case of a bent slider, where it doesn't change direction, but only stride.)
