Opulent Chess is a chess variant similar to Christian Freeling's Grand Chess, but with an improved Knight, and two new jumping pieces (the Lion, and the Wizard.) The game is played on a 10×10 board
The Knight moves like a standard Chess Knight, with the added ability to step a single space horizontally or vertically. The Knight is still forced to move to a square of the opposite color with each move.
The Wizard piece is a color-bound leaper invented for Omega Chess. It can make a (1, 3) leap, or move a single space diagonally. Like a Bishop, the Wizard remains on squares of the same color throughout the game.
The Lion is a piece invented by Ralph Betza, which he called a Half-Duck. It has been used recently with the name 'Lion' in games by David Paulowich. This piece may leap either 2 or 3 squares horizontally or vertically, or may step a single space diagonally. This piece stays on squares of the same color except when it makes the somewhat awkward (0, 3) leap.
The Chancellor is a compound piece combining the moves of the Rook and the Orthodox Chess Knight. The Archbishop is a compound piece combining the moves of the Bishop and the Orthodox Chess Knight .
