🨼e8: Nereïde
🨊c8, 🨐e1, f2: Sparrows

is a kind of Grasshopper that retraces its steps at 45 degrees from the sautoir,
i.e. the angle of arrival of the Sparrow-sautoir square of arrival of the Grasshopper is 135 degrees.
in other words, the Sparrow's arrival square-jumpoir's arrival square angle is 135 degrees.
For example the Sparrow e1 could go to f6, because the angle f6-e7-e8 is 135 degrees.
Nereid it is a Sea Bishop, which normally plays but captures Locust-style in e8. It could be replaced by a Vao

Solution

{

} 1.NDe8-c6 {(Preinterception of Sparrow c8.)} Sb3-c5 {(Would check (by Sparrow c8) without the animal on c6 as d6-c5-c4 = 135 degrees.)
} 2.SWf2-d5 + Sg5-e6 # {
The Sparrow c8 checks as d6-e6-f5 = 135 degrees.
The pinned c6 animal cannot parry the check by playing on d7.

} 1.NDe8-d7 Sg5-e6! {(would check without the animal on d7 as d6-e6-f5 = 135 degrees)} 2.SWe1-d5 {(sautoir e6)} Sb3-c5 # {

h#2.5 Boléro R.I.(0+1+2)
b) 🨂h6 --> d7
c) ♚e5 --> g7
d) 🨁d8 --> f8

In Bolero, capturing moves are played normally.
A non-capturing unit adopts the march of the one initially on the same column.
It therefore plays as a rook if it is on the "a" or "h" column, as a knight if it is on "b" or "g", etc.
. In "Kings included" Kings also adopt this way of doing things.

Solution

{

} a) {
} 1...nQd8-f6 + 2.Ke5-d5 nRh6-h7 3.Kd5-g8 {(the King plays as a Queen)} nQf6-h8 # {
On h8, the Queen moves as a Rook, but continues to be a Queen to capture, and if the King wants to escape he must make a knight step

} b) nRh6-->d7 {nRh6 --> d7
} 1...nRd7-a7 2.Ke5-f4 nQd8-d5 3.Kf4-b8 {(King plays as a Bishop)} nQd5-a8 # {

} c) bKe5-->g7 {Ke5 --> g7
} 1...nRh6-d6 2.Kg7-h5 {(from the "g" file the King played as a Knight)} nRd6-d3 3.Kh5-b5 {(from the "h" file, the King played as a Rook) }nQd8-b8 # {
on the "b" file, King and Queen move as knights
. The neutral Queen can only go to a6, c6 or d7 which will be followed by the capture of the King
On the other hand, the King's escape squares a3, c3, d4, d6, c7 and a7 are controlled

} d) nQd8-->f8 {nQd8 --> f8
} 1...nRh6-e6 + 2.Ke5-d4 nQf8-c5 + 3.Kd4-g4 nQc5-g1 # {

Two pairs of mate echoes.
