That's a horrendously hard to parse definition. Couldn't they say "3 squares away but not on the same rank/file/diagonal" or something a bit easier?

- lgeorget 3y ago"3 squares away" is not entirely obvious though. The definition as it stands is mathematically unambiguous. Obviously, it's not how you teach the rule to a beginner, but that's irrelevant.
- FartyMcFarter 3y agoIf "nearest" is unambiguous then "3 squares away" is also unambiguous. The nearest squares are 1 square away, the ones nearest to those are 2 squares away, etc.
