No.356 by Dominique Forlot – A nice Masand-Miniature with AUW! (JV)
Masand: A unit which moves and actively checks changes the colour of all the units – enemy and its own (not Ks) – which it observes after the move. A checking rear (non-moving) piece of a battery would not recolour the units it observes.

Very nice AUW. Interesting Masand effects. I like the second solution with cross check effect.
I think Rex inclusive may also be possible in this type provided the checking piece checks both the kings simultaneously.
Completely useless white piece Be2 in one solution is a serious flaw and wBa5 is a poorly used white piece. Twinning would be more acceptable, for instance:
(W: Pe7 Bc2 Ke1; B: Bb8 Sb7 Kc7 Pb2; Twin b)-wBc2)
or perhaps more interesting possibility with a capture of wB by bB which becomes wB in the end:
W:Pd7,Bd4,Kg1; B:Ba8,Sa7,Kb7,Pa2;H#2;b)wKg1>h1;Masand
a) 1.Kb8 d8S 2.a1R[a7=w]+ Be5[a1=w]#
b) 1.a1B d8Q 2.Bxd4 Qb6[d4=w][a7=w]#
Thank you for your comments and appreciations!
The proposal of Nikola Predrag is really attractive with the twins b)wKg1->h1 : I like it !
