A possible pair of leapers:

Long leaper: same as in this variant except when capturing must jump over
             at least two empty squares before the captured piece.

Short leaper: moves as an Orthodox Queen and captures by overtaking. 
              the piece captured must be within two squares of the
              short leaper. It may land any vacant square somewhere 
              beyond it. It may jumpover friendly pieces, but not 
              capture them. It captures any enemy piece(s) lept over.
              The adjacent square that it lept over must be occupied.
              It may not make more than one short leap in a turn. It 
              may end its move on an edge square only when that is the 
              only way to make a particular capture.
