󼎜c6, 󼎝g1: Rose-Lion
🨵c2, h2, 🨻a5: Rook-Lion (TL)

: moves with help of a sautoir
. the squares between the start square and the sautoir must be free, as well as between the sautoir and the landing square
. The Lion Rose c6 controls g6 & e7 with the sautoir c2 (c6-b4-c2-e1-g2-h4-g6-e7)

Solution

{

} 1.WRc6-e7? {via c2 as already mentioned, threats} 2.Rc8-f8# {having provided a sautoir to BLa3
} 1...BRg1-c5? {sautoir g5} 2.WTc2-c7# {this time, ...Kg6 is prevented by the Lion-Rose e7, with the bK itself as a sautoir,
the Lion-Rose making a full round clockwise, or two rounds the other way !
} 1...Sh8-g6? 2.WTh2-h7# {Bishop-Lion b1 interception
} 1...h5-h4! {g6 is no longer controled

} 1.WTc2-c7! {menace} 2.WTh2-h7# {that the Bishop-Lion b1 no longer controls
} 1...BRg1-c5 {controls h7, via e4, sautoir g5} 2.Rc8-f8# {defended by Bishop-Lion a3
} 1...Sh8-g6 2.WRc6-e7# {sautoir g6.

: the rebirth of a captured piece is left to the discretion of the taker
. if a pawn is replaced on a promotion rank, the nature of the promotion is also left to the discretion of the taker
. Of course, and in all the cases, the position after rebirth of the piece must be legal

#2 Anti-Circe(9+9)

: the captured piece is reborn on its native square if it is free, otherwise the move is illegal

Solution

{

It should be noted that if the capture on a rebirth square was allowed, one could play :
} 1.Bc4*f1[+wBf1] ! {and the only legal move would be } 1...b6-b5 {which would be followed by} 2.Sb3-c5 # {
It should also be noted that the "corporal" opposition to the Black King comes up against a capture by the latter and rebirth in e8
Example : } 1.Rg3-e3 + ? {and here, not} 1...Sf1*e3[bSe3->b8] 2.Sh5-g3 # {but rather} 1...Ke4*e3[bKe3->e8] ! {
} 1.Qb7-c6 ? {or} 1.Rf6-f8 ? {both come up against} 1...Sf1-e3 ! {

} 1.Bd2-c1 ? {blocus
} 1...Sf1*h2[bSh2->b8] 2.Sb3-d2 # {
} 1...Sf1*g3[bSg3->b8] 2.Sh5-g3 # {
} 1...Sf1-e3 2.Sb3-d2 # {
} 1...Sf1-d2 2.Bc4*d5[wBd5->f1] # {
