In shogi, the 桂馬 moves like the knight but only the two forward most moves; it can still jump. However, in shogi it can promote (most pieces in shogi can promote).

In xiangqi, the 馬 moves like the knight, in any direction, but it can be blocked (it is considered to go one orthogonal and then one diagonally outward); it is possible that one 馬s threatens the other, but not other way around because the opponent's one is blocked. (The rule that the kings are not allowed to look at each other can also have this non-mutual attacking effect, but 馬 does it even independently of that rule, and of the river.)
