No.337 by Julia Vysotska – Bishop- and Rook-Locust reciprocally close lines for each other! (JV)
Definition:
Nightrider(N): A Rider along a straight line on squares lying a Knight`s move away from each other.
Locust (L): moves on Q-lines but only by capturing an enemy unit, arriving on the square immediately beyond that unit, which must be vacant.
Rook-Locust (LR): Moves like Locust, but on Rook-lines only.
Bishop-Locust (LB): Moves like Locust, but on Bishop-lines only.

e8 at e6?
No, no, the diagram is absolutely correct! Try to solve! 🙂
Sorry, my comment was not clear. I only meant that with e8 shifted to e6, both W2 moves will be switchback.
Not necessarily an improvement))), but I just can’t ignore this possibility, when I see it.
White : Kh5 LRe8b4 LBh1
Black : Kf4 Sf3 Nc4 LBd6f5f2

Setplay format is very nice. Can be an improvement if something can be done about the black locusts !
Yes, the same thought about technical LBs. I regret even about my own LRa4 – I wish it would be simple Rook! But cooks…..
I guess it would be complicated to improve this setplay as well..
