a) {}
1.Qe8-h8 f2-f3 2.Bh1*f3[+wQc8] Qd3-f5 #{one might think that Kxf5 would be possible, as Qc8 is paralysed by Qh8
but with the Coucous Circe, there is a disadvantage which is illustrated below :}
3.Ke5*f5[+wQe8] {the rebirth of Q in e8 deparalyzes Qc8}
b) wSb5-->g3{Nb5-->g3}
1.Qe8-c8 Kg1*h1[+bBe1] 2.Be1*f2[+wQf8] Qd3-d6 #{same remark as above with the illustration :}
3.Ke5*d6[+wQe8] {the rebirth of the Q in e8 deparalyzes the Qf8}
