Frog Chess

ok so I thought up a variant called "frog chess" basically the frog is a piece that starts on the c1-c8 squares (takes place of the c-knights). the way it moves is 1-2 squares FORWARD in any direction so it cant go back, but you can rotate the frog it takes a turn. now I am gonna try to explain the way it captures in the least confusing way i can. it captures by hopping over a piece and landing on a vacant square like a checker piece but can capture forward. it can only hop in the direction its pointed. now the frog has a special ability i call it "leapfrogging" it can capture up to 2 times in a row kinda the same a checker piece i think the frog would be worth like 7 points.
let me know in comments what you think it should be worth if this post gets 12 thumbs ups/upvotes ill make a club that will focus on developing this variant. if you think anything is wrong/unbalanced/could be better please let me know. and also if you have any questions i will be happy to answer. and one last thing, if you took the time to read this paragraph thanks a ton.

I would say it would be worth 3/5 points. Since rotating the frog will waste so much time and make its squares so limited. It would be very easy to dodge the frog. I think the rotating feature needs to be changed to up and down/left and right as the rotating options. With that I would say 1 point.

and upvotes. I think the frog could be used in other variants as well.
