I can't fully credit you with invention of the piece you describe, because
it was a discarded invention of my own. It was a transitional form of the
Queen in British Chess, but it made the game trickier and more confusing.
So I made the Queen less complicated by exempting QxQ from the Queen's
usual movement restrictions.

By the way, if you want to be accurate in the way you formally refer to
me, you should call me Dr. Duniho. Mr. Duniho is my brother, but he has no
interest in Chess variants.
