Good catch, Christine. Also, here is something I wrote [2008-11-01] on George Duke's NextChess2 thread:

Regarding some recent comments: 'Super Chess' (two words) is part of a proprietary name used on the web page Cardinal Super Chess, which states: 'Because of the Cardinals' unique movement, a combination of a knight and a bishop, it gathers the initiative into one sweeping action.' This naturally leads to the mistaken conclusion that it is the usual B+N piece. But the second web page given for this commercial variant shows the move to be a non-leaping Camel. I once tested the piece on the applet provided and saw the program move a Bishop to block my Cardinal check.

Taking a trip on the WayBack Machine, I find the alternate name CSChess(c) - wouldn't a trademark make more sense than a copyright? Sad to say, the archived web pages have neither a movement diagram nor a playing applet.
