Let the Grand Knight have the combined moves of a Wazir and a Knight. This color-alternating piece is called a Brigadier in veSQuj and simply a Knight in Opulent Chess. In Achernar the Grand-Horse moves like a Grand Knight and can also make 'CH moves'.

I am going to use the name Grand Horse here for a piece combining moves of a Wazir and a Chinese Horse (Mao). This non-leaping piece moves to precisely those nearby squares that the the Free Padwar cannot go to. [EDIT] This piece is a short range version of the Rhino.
