This is the AD&D 3.x method, that is to say: "The even diagonal squares count as two squares" (so the counting of the squares in diagonal movement is: 1, 2-3, 4, 5-6, 7...).

IMHO diagonal movement causes too much confusion and leaves room for cheating

its a little more complicated, but the GM is suppose to be vigilant against abuse, right?  right?

personally my vigilance in this case takes the form of not allowing diagonal movement in my games
