126. Yabf. A simpler piece than yesterday, Yabf (my own shorthand for yab fricative: ), compounds the moves of Knight, Dabbabah, and Wazir. (NDW)

The piece is basically a straightforward powerhourse, in the manner of a Knight but probably as powerful as a Rook. (The Interactive Diagram system gives it a score of 660, which is more than the Rook's 467; it's equal to a Mammoth.)

The physical piece's appearance could also lend itself to representing a sniper piece.
