It's short for Queen Perquisites.
Does anyone know the etymology of the name "querquisite"?
Heh cool. I actually thought of exactly this idea a couple of years ago but didn't pursue any kind of write-up or game development for it. I guess the reason is I prefer pieces with an 'absolute' move, that is a move of its own domain and not one determined by external factors. But it is certainly another good piece. This and the Fool/Jester are together two very well paired pieces that would make interesting chess on a 100sq board.
The lore apprentice (Zauberlehrling) of Lines of Relay is an offshot of the querquisite, I conceived it by misunderstanding its moves. See http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSlinesofrelay%28l

I can see how this might be implemented on an Interactive Diagram, using morph.
I can also see how trying to do so, outside orthodox chess, could mean one fewer vacancy in the mental hospital.
