No.628 by Paul Rãican – Reflexmate with exotical thematic material: Eagle+Locust! (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.

Eagle (EA): Moves like a Grasshopper ((0,1)+(1,1)Hopper), but deflects 90° either way on passing over the hurdle. The arrival square is adjacent to the hurdle.

I have just come across this gem in the database. Change of two variations in r#5 is extremely rare occurrence. The precise play of wEA is well orchestrated and the variation 1…e5 in the solution with immobilized wB is a highlight.
