A '''tripper''' is a ] that jumps three squares diagonally, leaping over any intermediate piece. Below, it is given the symbol '''G''' from ].

==Value==
The tripper by itself is not much more powerful than a ], but as an additional power to other pieces it is worth slightly less than half a ]. This slightly reduced value is due to its limited mobility on the 8×8 board; Betza noted that it was a much more useful component on the 12×12 board, then having practically its ideal value of half a knight. Its value as a piece by itself is severely compromised by its being only being able to reach an sixteenth of the squares on any size of chessboard; combining it with other pieces usually masks this weakness to some extent.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
  • To a list entry: This is a redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry.
    • For redirects from a topic to a related list and not to an entry on that list, use {{R from list topic}} instead.
  • To an embedded anchor: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to an embedded anchor on the redirect's target page.
    • An {{anchor|(anchor name)}} or {{visible anchor}} template, a HTML element with id="(anchor name)", or an |id=(anchor name) parameter might be installed at the beginning of a paragraph, in or near a section header or within a table. The anchor might also be an old section header that has been edited and is anchored within or near the new header to prevent broken internal and external links.
    • Even though section headers of the general form ==(Header name)== are themselves a type of anchor, use {{R to section}} instead.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
