[mdfjiozd] no bishop movement

chess variant removing ranged diagonal movement:

replace bishop with fairy ferz, or fairy ferz + fairy dabbaba.  the new piece is colorbound but not multiply colorbound (as unaugmented fairy dabbaba is).

replace queen with rook + fairy ferz.

but I think this makes the game worse because the interplay between ranged orthogonal movement and ranged diagonal movement makes orthodox chess interesting.
