No.326 (MC&JV)

No.326 – Michel Caillaud & Julia Vysotska – Entertaining problem with promoted Chameleons. The problem is presented as C- as it uses a condition “Promotion to Chameleon allowed“* (not programmed yet, but planned in the next version of WinChloe) instead of adding  a static Chameleon piece. Although, the problem is easy to test in WinChloe if a Chameleon piece is defined for the problem, but not presented on the board. (JV) 

No.326.1 – Michel Caillaud & Julia Vysotska – Improved version to No.326 with a gratitude to commentators! (JV) 

*?ondition “Promotion to Chameleon allowed” is implemented in WinChloe 3.24 – so the both problems are C+ as of 8-June-2013!

Definitions:

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.

Rook-Lion(RL): Moves like Lion, but on Rook-lines only.

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