chessvariants.com →This piece has been used in Cavalier Chess (1998) and Grand Cavalier Chess (1999) by Fergus Duniho, and in Xhess (1999) by David Howe. The Nightrider can make a move like a Knight , but then can continue to move in the same direction. Thus, it can make one or more successive Knight-leaps, all in the same direction: the spaces visited by all but the last jump must be empty.
