The American Bald Eagle, a symbol of freedom and majesty, soars high above the chessboard with keen vision and formidable presence. Known for its powerful flight and sharp eyesight, the Bald Eagle in this game represents strategic foresight and the ability to swiftly capitalize on opportunities.
The American Bald Eagle moves like a knight, leaping in an L-shaped pattern. This movement symbolizes its soaring flight and agility in the skies. It embodies the eagle's ability to navigate and maneuver with precision and grace.
Unique to the American Bald Eagle is the 'Strike from Above' ability. Unlike traditional knights, it can capture an opponent's piece by striking down on any adjacent square around it, not just where it lands after its move.
