Definitions:

Diametral  Circe: The captured pieces reborn on a square, which is diametrically opposed to the origin field of captured piece, i.e. a point mirrored on chessboard center. For example: a possibly captured black (white) Queen doesn’t reborn on d8 (d1), but on e1 (e8) (if e1 (e8) is occupied, then the Queen vanishes entirely from the board).

Maximummer – Black must play the geometrically longest move or may choose from among longest moves of equal length, distances being measured from the center of each square. Diagonal and oblique distances are measured from the orthogonal coordinates by using Pythagora’s theorem (take the square root of the sum of the squares of the orthogonal distances). All other orthodox chess rules apply.

KoKo – A move is possible only if the piece moved arrives on a square next to another unit.

Grasshopper(G): Moves along Q-lines over another unit of either color to the square immediately beyond that unit. A capture may be made on arrival, but the hurdle is not affected.

Chameleon: On completing a move, a Chameleon (from classical standard type) changes into another piece, in the sequence Q-S-B-R-Q…  Promotion may be to a chameleon at any stage in the cycle.

Anti-Circe: After a capture the capturing piece (Ks included) must immediately be removed to its game array square (necessarily vacant, else the capture is illegal). Captures on the rebirth square are allowed. Game array squares are determined as in Circe.

N.245. Nice! This is indeed “mutual” battery formation!
