Mimic (easy)

This maze first appeared as the monthly maze competition for September 2018.

In this maze each chess piece you land on determines where you can move next. As in chess, from a bishop you can move diagonally, and from a rook you can move horizontally or vertically. From a knight you can jump in an L-shaped knight's move, and only the knight can jump over other pieces.

However, in this maze the pawn is special - it mimics the last piece you were on. So when you land on a pawn, the pawn behaves in the same way as the previous piece.

For example, from the rook on the starting square you could jump to the bishop below it or to the pawn to its right. The pawn now behaves like a rook, so from this you could jump back to the rook, to the rook below it, or to the pawn to its right, and so on.

Start from the rook in the top left corner, and find a route to the pawn in the bottom right corner in the smallest number of steps.
