I added a new piece, the Dragonet, as a variant to my Pioneer Chess.
It can create new tactical themes. It's a simple and straightforward
piece, I think.

The Dragonet ('little dragon') flies to any empty square, of the same colour, in any direction. It captures an enemy piece by landing immediately beyond its victim. The Dragonet's value is 4, i.e. light piece + pawn (estimate). It's a colourbound modification, by me, of Schmittberger's Airplane.
