combination leapers I know the bucaphale is a root-25 leaper, combining the leaper abilities 3,4 and 5,0. Is there a list of other known leaper combination pieces? |

Amazon: Queen+knight
Dolphin: Grasshopper+Kangaroo
Elephant: Queen+Nightrider
Gral: Alfil+rookhopper
Marguerite: Grasshopper+Sparrow+Moose+Hamster+Eagle
Princess: Rook+Knight
Root-50-leaper: (7,1)+(5,5)-leaper
Sting: King+royal Grasshopper
Zebu: Camel+(1,4)-leaper [which probably has a name, but I can't remember it at the moment]
And there are several unnamed ad-hoc combination pieces, used in only one composition. |

Wouldn't an elephant be a rider rather than a leaper?
Also maybe here are some more:

Root 50, Zebu are the combination leapers. Others are combination hoppers or riders. |

Do you mean it can test any piece given the combination it has? |

I would like to add to Joost De Heer,s list of lepers, the S+Locust combination. ( Sebastien Luce) has shown me a few problems using that piece (C+) |

Yes, It can! There are some 10 "user-defined" pieces. The user can choose any combination of the other defined pieces for the "new" piece. Plus, there are some other options like "non-capturing", "must-capture", etc. which I haven't explored yet. |
