Subject: Behemoth Chess question

In Behemoth Chess, can the behemoth move in opposite directions on consecutive turns? Can the behemoth move in the same direction on consecutive turns?

Subject: Re: Behemoth Chess question

I thought that might have happened in my game,
Behemoth Chess (Thad vs. A663)

At first, the behemoth moved from its initial D4 square to H8 then right back to D4, but it wrapped around the board on its way there and then came across the board on the way back. Perhaps the notation needs to be adjusted for this?!

Thad: it started at H8 and stopped at D4 according to the previous move.
the rules mention it can hop from 1 side to the other as in sphere froglet.

Yes, I understand the way it moved and and the movement rules. I was saying that,
1. f3/h8
is ambiguous because the behemoth can reach H8 by two different routes (and take out different combinations of pieces on the way).
