That would be Q + N.

Sure. But the Queen is just B+R.

Supposedly there is to be a Fischer-Karpov match, but not in standard
chess, instead in a variant called Gothic Chess, which is similar to
the game Capablanca designed about 80 years ago, with two extra pieces
(R+N and B+N) and an 8x10 board.

I wonder why a third piece, one which combines R+N+B, wasn't added to
the mix.

A Q+N combination, in effect? Perhaps it was considered too powerful.

How about an RxR piece? Can move to any square it wants.... :-)

Back when I was a kid, I tried devising some chess variants. One had a
piece which moved like a rook, except that it was allowed to go one
square diagonally at any point, at the start or end of its move, or in
the midst of its orthogonal move. If the diagonal move was within or at
the start of its orthogonal move, it could then continue orthogonally
in any direction, east, west, north or south -- a rook that could turn
corners and change lanes, so to speak. I thought this was pretty cool
until I realized that on an empty board, such a piece could move to any
square at all.
