I believe that the Knight-Dabbaba piece is sufficient mating material on the standard 8x8 board. Not sure about 12x12 and larger boards. Here is a computer-verified endgame position from 1999. <p>White to move and mate in nine. WHITE: King (c6) and Knight-Dabbaba (h8). BLACK: King (c8).

Link to Avon is dead, link to Truffle Hunt Chess is dead, link to CWDA is dead. Additionally, this piece does not belong in the Piececlopedia, and certainly not with this name, which has almost no history at all.
