Neutral Bishop is pinned by the Mao !

} b) nMAa5-->h5 {

} 1.NAh5-g7 NAg7-e6 2.NOd6-f7 nRf6*e6 # {
And now, it's the neutral Rook which is pinned by the Moa !!

Nice !
The funny thing here is that the neutral mating piece is pinned every time by a "creeping" neutral piece,
which gives this problem a nice unity
}

a little reminder about Mao and Moa :

Mao : a Mao first makes an orthogonal step (on a square which must be empty), then a diagonal step.
Moa : a Moa first makes a diagonal step (on a square that must be empty), then an orthogonal step
