The lion can make two moves in one turn. So igui can be regarded as the
lion capturing a piece in move 1 and moving back to its original square in
move 2. There are some real nice pieces in the larger variants, e.g. the
drunk elephant that promotes to crown prince (which effectively is a second
king), and the hookmover whose move consists of two perpendicular rook-type
movements.

Cheers, Pieter.
