Piececlopedia: Fibnif

Historical notes

The Fibnif is a `combination chess piece', introduced by Ralph Betza in 1996. The name comes from fbNF: a Knight (N) that can move forwards and backwards, but not sidewards, combined with a Ferz.

Movement

The Fibnif can either move one square diagonally, or can make a jump consisting of two squares vertically and one square horizontally: i.e., from the eight possible jumps a knight can make, the Fibnif can make four.

Movement diagram

The Fibmog can jump to all the squares marked with a circle.
