No.486 by Krassimir Gandev – Nice Miniature with 3 Chameleon-echo mates!  (JV)


Definitions:

Locust(L): Moves along Queen lines only by capturing an enemy unit, arriving on the square immediately beyond that unit, which must be vacant.

Poseidon(PO): The Marine King is named “Poseidon”. The Poseidon moves like a King when not capturing, and captures adjacent pieces like a Locust.

Amazone (AM): Queen + Knight

Super-pawn(SP): Moves straight forwards and captures diagonally forwards through as many empty squares as desired. Promotion is normal.

The solutions are practically identical, but the position is economical and the forced mate is good.
