you can only capture if you are observed by an enemy unit.

Solution

{

} 1.Rf3-e3 Qa4-f4 + 2.Ke5-d4 Sc5-e6 # {
It's really checkmate because} 3.Re3*e6 ? {or} 3.Re3-f3 ? {would activate Qf4.

neutral NMe5 white Kf2 black Mf4h4 Kh1 Ph2

ser-h#6(1+4+1)
🨫e5: neutral moose
🨥f4, h4: Moose
2 solutions

Moose The moose, playing as a grasshopper along the path of a queen, makes an angle of 45 degrees from the sautoir, in relation to the arrival square of a Grasshopper.
For example 🨥h4h4 can go to f1 or e2 via the f2 sautoir (e1-f2-f1 = e1-f2-e2 = 45 degrees).
🨫e5 can move on f3 or g4 via sautoir f4 (these last moves as a knight, but it would go to g2 or h3 if the f4-square was on g3).
Note that 🨥f4 is pinned by 🨫e5 (sautoir h2) ;
besides, without it, Black would be checkmated because 🨫e5 would have no possible escape.

Solution

{

} 1.nMe5-f3 {(neutral Moose plays black move.)} 2.Mh4-e3 {(sautoir f4 ;
could not have been played on the 1st move as the wR was checked by the nM e5)} 3.Me3-f5 4.Mf4-g2 5.nMf3-g1 6.nMg1-h3 + nMh3-e5 # {

} 1.nMe5-g4 2.Mf4-g1 {(sautoir f2)} 3.Mg1-f5 {(sautoir g4)} 4.nMg4-f6 5.nMf6-h3 6.Mh4-g2 + nMh3-e5 # {

Same checkmate in the 2 solutions, but with a reversal of the two black Mooses.
Neutral Moose e5, playing as black, can go to g4 or g6 (sautoir f5),
but the black king remains in check (sautoir g2). but Black's King remains in check (jump g2).}

the piece that wants to capture is first transferred to the square it occupied at the beginning of the game
( according to the rules of normal Circe), which must imperatively be free.

Exchanged lines AB-BA.
Bishop coming on c4 to not be captured : on e6 (f5), there is ...Bd1-c8xe6 (f5), on d5 (g8) ...Qb3-d8xd5 (g8), on f7 ...Ke8xf7.
The mate-threat being carried out by a "g" pawn, the thematic variants consist in taking one of these pawns (g7 or g5),
to take the other one at the 2nd move.}

white Ke8 Rf8d4 Bg8h6 Sh4c1 Pe3e6 black Bh8 Ph7h5d5d6 Se4 Ke5 Rc5

#2 boléro(9+8)

capturing moves are played normaly.
A non-capturing figure adopts the march of the one initially on the same file. It plays like a ♖ if it is on the "a" or "h" file, like a ♘ if it is on "b" or "g", etc.
For example, the ♖f8 cannot go to f6, but neither can ♚e5 because said rook would "normally" take it.
Similarly (after 1.♙e7!) ♗g8 cannot go to e6 (♗h6 could!), but neither can ♚e5.

Solution

} 1.Sc1-a3 ? {(move like a Bishop and threatens} 2.Sa3-d3 # {as a Rook)} 1...Se4-d3 ! {
