[edit] Historical notes
The contragrasshopper is a less well-known fairy chess piece. Torsten Linss has a problem using the contrgrasshopper. The contragrasshopper is, of course, derived from his more famous fairy cousin, the grasshopper.
[edit] Movement
The contragrasshopper moves and captures along queen lines (orthogonally or diagonally), but first it must leap over a piece, friendly or enemy, that is on a square adjacent to it in the direction it is moving. It can not jump over a second piece, but can move any distance past the piece it jumps over as long as its path is unobstructed.
