The exceptional synergy between the B and N move make it unexpectedly powerful, and this power is wielded with exquisit grace when the piece is properly used. It creates action and excitement on the board, wherever it goes. The only name that does it right would be 'Dancer'. The Mad Queen is a comparatively dull and Boorish invention compared to (BN). The (RN) piece is not so hot. It is a bit clumsy. In Chess with FIDE Pawns, open files tend to be scarce, and orthogonal movers are severely hindered in the middle game, the phase of the game that counts. Diagonal moves run the show. Anyone having watched sufficiently many high-quality games involving these pieces will attest to that. Quite possibly (RN) would be a wonderful piece in combination with Berolina Pawns.
