Do you have a way to check that piece to make sure that piece works in
chess?
Perhaps someone can come up with a Power Mutant version, where you
have a piece called the "Mutant" and then you have a list of powers.
You randomly select what both player's mutant piece will have, and
then you play the game. Your jumper piece could be one of those.
That piece does look overpowered though.
