The king could take the queen though, unless there’s something else going on we can’t see.

There must have been a clergyman at 45 degrees over her shoulder watching through binoculars.

Fun fact Chess was under constant revision for a long period after its creation. After though people started gate keeping it and preventing changes. So who knows, maybe a better storyline existed or should of existed?

There is Duke Chess

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/124123/dukes-chess

A chess variant that provides a larger board (8x9) and adds another piece to the standard chess set: The Duke.

The Duke can move 1, 2 or 3 spaces in any direction but is unable to capture in any adjacent space but can capture in the subsequent 2 or 3 spaces beyond that. The Duke may also jump over pieces to bypass them.

The Duke starts at the King’s side, opposite the Queen.
