[edit] Historical notes
The zebra is a fairly well known fairy chess piece, and has appeared in chess variants under different names.
In Mideast Chess, it is called the courtier.
[edit] Movement
The zebra is a (2,3)-jumper, i.e., it moves (with or without taking) three squares horizontally and two vertically, or two squares horizontally and three vertically. It `jumps', i.e., it can move regardless whether the intervening squares are occupied or not.
