Unicorn

Both knights move like queens but can only capture like knights.

It slides anywhere a queen can go, then has to jump like a knight to take anything. Enormous reach with an awkward trigger, so it dominates space without dominating material.

What changes

The board does not start the way standard chess does.

Standard chess: Classical chess. Checkmate the king.
