Pieces

A-Archbishop - has the combined moves of a Bishop and a Knight, (B+N).

C-Chancellor - has the combined moves of a Rook and a Knight, (R+N).

G-General - has the combined moves of a Queen and a Knight, (Q+N).

Q-Queen - has the combined moves a Bishop and a Rook, (B+R).

O-Cannon moves to capture as an Orthodox Rook which is required to hop over a single screen. In other words, O - capture by hoping over a second piece in order to capture a third piece. For example, O - on a1 can take a piece on f1 when exactly one of the points b1, c1, d1, or e1 is occupied by a piece of either color. O - only capture when hoping and only hop when capturing. They may never hop over more than one piece in a given move. O - needs an intermediate piece between itself and its victim. O - jumps the intermediate and take the victim on its square. The intermediate is left unaffected. U(Nightrider) moves like a chess Knight, but may continue a series of leaps in the same direction. One of the most popular fairy chess pieces, it was invented in 1925 by T. R. Dawson.

Rules

Notes

G = Q + N > Q = R + B > C = R + N > A = B + N > R > O > B = U > N >; and approximately G = (12 - 14)P; N = (2.5 - 3)P.
