{...e (or c) xBd6+, Fg1 (or f2...) c5, and now the forced moves:
...dxc5+, Kb4xNb3, ...bxBa4+, KxNb2, ...dxBc1=B+. Black Knights are
necessary to avoid illegal bishop faces: c1-a3 & a4-c2.}

: move normally but to capture, behave like a Locust.
The Locust is a Grasshopper that swallows its sautoir.
to make the parallel with the normal pieces, the Siren has the march of the Queen,
the Triton of the Rook and the Nereid of the Bishop

#2(6+11)Mars Circe
: the pieces move normally, but to make a capture, they virtually pass through their native square.
For example, in the position of the diagram, black has the possibility to play Bh8xb4
