Piececlopedia: Ubi-Ubi
Historical notes
The ubi-ubi is a less well-known fairy chess problem piece. The only
game I know of that uses this piece is Ubi-Ubi Chess, game considered unsuccessful by its inventors. Ubi-ubi
means 'everywhere' in Latin.
Movement
The ubi-ubi makes an arbitrary finite number of knight moves in a single turn as desired. It must stop when it
captures an opponent's piece.
The ubi-ubi is a powerful piece; on an empty board it can, of course,
reach every square on the board.
This is an item in the Piececlopedia: an overview of
different (fairy) chess pieces.
