The earliest reference to this piece that I am aware of is in Ralph Betza's <a href='../dpieces.dir/diffknights.html'>Augmented [Different] Knights</a>, which is copyright 1994. Ralph, following his own system simply called the piece the ND. <p> This piece also showed up as the Vicount in a discussion of a proposed variant called <a href='../index/listcomments.php?subjectid=Rook-Level+Chess'>Rook Level Chess II</a> in the comment system in April 2002. Ralph Betza was kind enough to provide a mate example for it -- also starting the Black King in a corner (b8).
