Amazon (chess)

An amazon (also known as a queen+knight compound) is a fairy chess piece that can move like a queen or a knight (or, equivalently, like a rook, bishop, or knight). It may thus be considered the sum of all orthodox chess pieces (not including pawns). It cannot jump over other pieces when moving as a queen, but may do so when moving as a knight. Below, it is given the symbol QN from Betza notation.
