That’s a berserker, an early chess piece that could move like a queen and knight combined, three times at once, and captured everything within a three-square radius. For obvious reasons, it was soon replaced by pieces with more reasonable restrictions.
I heard they tried nerfing it, by letting it die after his first turn, but it was still way to op.
