The amazon, also known as the queen+knight compound or sometimes the dragon (a name sometimes used for the princess) or the superqueen, is a fairy chess piece that can move like a queen or a knight. It may thus be considered the sum of all orthodox chess pieces other than the king (because it cannot castle and does not know when it is under threat via the check rule) and the pawn (because it cannot practice en passant).
