1 - hs#2 Mars circe with lion
Kohring, R.2018
white Rh5 Ka8 Be3
black Sg1 Rc2 Bd7 Kc1 LIe7
hs#2 2sol.(3+5)🨺e7: Lion
moves on the Queen's lines with the help of a sautoir.
the path between the start square and the sautoir must be free, as well as between the sautoir and the finish square.
which, for its part, must be free or occupied by an opposing piece.
The pieces are moving normally but to capture,.
they virtually move through their original square.
Thus, if there was no Ng1, the Black King would be in check by Rh5 from h1
{}
1.Be3-f2 Bd7-c6 2.Rh5-h4 + LIe7*h4 #
{(forced, because the black King is "pinned" by the white Bishop (...Kb2 & ...Kd2 impossible).
The Lion captures the white rook from his presumed promotion square, e1. And then, he watches from h1.
The White King is "pinned" by Rc2 (Kb8 & Ka7 impossible).
As for b7, it is doubly controlled: by the Bc6 --since c8-- and the Lion h4. }
1.Be3-d2 Bd7-a4 2.Rh5-a5 + LIe7*a5 # {
The Lion captures from e1 and mate from a1.
This time it is a7 which is doubly controlled.}
2 - h=1,5 4 sol anti-circe
Millour, RJ.1995
white Bf3e5 Kf7 Qg6 Pc7 Sf1 Rc3
black Pe2 Kf2 Sb8
h=1,5 anti-circe 4sol.(7+3)
the movement of the pieces is normal, except for the capture after which the capturing piece returns to
its original square if this one is free.
If not, the capture is not legal.
