I recently played a game of chess against my girlfriend.  She insisted that
it is legal for a queen to move like a knight as long as it does not jump
over another piece.  After consulting your page it is fairly obvious that
this is false.

My question is: are their any variations on the game where this is
allowed. Do you have any clue where she may have gotten this idea?  She is
very insistant!

Thank you.
