Just as a Knight reaches any square a King could move to in 2 turns that a
Queen couldn't move to in 1 turn, this piece reaches any square a Knight
could move to in 2 turns that a Nightrider couldn't move to in one turn:

Strangely enough, it is stronger than the Knight, which is weaker than the
King. What to call this piece?
