The Ultima description claims that it can leap to any unoccupied space beyond the taken piece. More like a Cannon than a Grasshopper.
Actually, a long leaper and a king can give checkmate to a lone king, but they cannot force the enemy king into checkmate; he would have to comply.

Note, however, that this piece comes from Ultima, and that in Ultima stalemate is also a win. And you can force stalemate with K+LL aganst bare K.

Yes, this version of the piece inspired me to make a full set portraying each piece in Ultima as a human being. See Ultima AI Pieces. Each piece that can move as a Queen is female, and the others are male.
