Some editor should move this to Piececlopedia after Approval

... (which also feature variants that capture as queen or rook)

The use of the word 'variants' here is a bit confusing, as it is easily taken as meaning 'chess varoiants'. Better to say: "which also feature divergent compounds of it that capture as queen or rook".

Maxi-Selfmate in 3

Solution: 1.Ce5! Rh8 2.Cf8 Rh1 3.Ch2 Ra1#

This problem probably predates Dawson's Camelrider problems.

Is there still something to be done?

Jörg Knappen wrote on Thu, Apr 10 10:17 AM UTC in reply to Kelvin Voskuijl from 09:56 AM:

Yes. Mention the name Mehari used by French problemists (see Jerome Grimbert, https://web.archive.org/web/20050116004034/http://jgrimbert.free.fr/pieces/p042.html )

I added a sentence about Dickins and a link for Lynx Chess, but I couldn't find a page for Great Rider Chess. Did you mean Grand Rider Chess?

🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Thu, Apr 10 04:21 PM UTC:

I have also added some AI concept art of this piece.

Are there other things

It could use a written description of how it moves.

I published this and added it to the categorized Piececlopedia index.

Note that the AI will go for checkmate even though White's goal in this problem is to force Black to deliver checkmate.

HaruN Y wrote on Fri, Apr 18 01:59 AM UTC in reply to HaruN Y from Thu Apr 3 05:48 PM:

I made the white King able to capture the black King in the final position so that the AI playing black doesn't want to "checkmate" white.

I also added buttons because there are twins.
