Title: Multimove variant rules with queen that does two moves in one
ThreadText: # Multimove variant rules with queen that does two moves in one
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-12-01)
  
  I recall playing a [multimove variant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chess_variants#Multimove_variants) special rules chess game where one player (say black) has all the usual pieces, while the other player has just a queen that can do two moves in one.
  
  So the queen can strike one of black's pieces and return to its position as if nothing happened -- "action at a distance"!
  
  It was such that if one player Alice was a bit more skilled than another Bob, then Alice could beat Bob whether playing white or black.
  
  Anybody know of rules like these?

  If this variant did exist, the original position is won by white: 1. Qxd7+ Qxe8.
  
  ```
  
  [FEN "rnbqQbnr/ppp1pppp/8/8/8/8/8/8 w KQkq - 0 1"]
  
  ```
