See below, that Grandmaster is to Nightrider as Dabbabante is to Dabbabah Rider.  Here is an unused thread Jaguaribe probably will not object to additional
thought-up on the moment CVs like Flowerman's ''Win the Battle, Lose the
War,''
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=24998, rather than on the Chess Variant Page Index.
In the other comment, Jaguaribe's Grandmaster is a free-jumping Nightrider not requiring intermediate squares.
Aronson explains in Dabbabante,
http://www.chessvariants.org/large.dir/dabbabante-chess.html, that, no, Dabbabante is not Dabbabah rider because of not requiring intermediate squares. Instead Dabbabante is super-Dabbabah Rider, to wit your multiply-compounded leaper. Gilman has plenteous tri-compound leapers in ''When Beasts Collide,'' and Dabbabante would be even more than three most of the time.
Exactly likewise, Jaguaribe's Grandmaster is super-Nightrider. Therefore, what or who would be a ''Super-Grandmaster''?  Answer in follow-up. It's a puzzle, not something to just throw up your hands. Willy nilly or helter skelter.
