Fuddled Men created by John Beasley, a unit has to rest after every move,
time to digest his alcohol a little.

7 - h#2 anti-circe b) antipode anti-circe c) mars anti-circé d) column anti-circé

anti-circe the capturing piece reborn on its original square if it is free, otherwise the capture is illegal.
antipode anti-circe the taking unit reborn on the square located at 4 diagonal steps, i.e. at the distance 4 x root of 2
(if the capture takes place in a2, it is reborn in e6).

For example, the b7-pawn can play in b3 or b4, but not take in c3.
column anti-circe the capturing unit reborn on the column where it is located, e.g. Kxc3 is reborn in c1.
