It is not explicitly stated in Burroughs' text that a piece entitled to a two-space or three-space move "must" move the full amount, but implicit information suggests that this is the case. For example, the Padwar at is entitled to a two-space diagonal move, so in the diagram below, it must end its move on the spaces marked [2; if all the spaces marked are occupied by friendly or opposing pieces, or if all the spaces marked [2 are occupied by friendly pieces, then the Padwar is blocked and unable to move.
