No.476 by Nikola Predrag – This funny problem made me laugh! Locust in h#7 Miniature. No more comments to leave more fun to the solvers! (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.
Circe: Captured units (not Ks) reappear on their game-array squares, of the same color in the case of pieces, on the file of capture in the case of pawns, and on the promotion square of the file of capture in the case of fairy pieces. If the rebirth square is occupied the capture is normal.

Nice echoes. I wished to include all pieces in the mate.
I know, Nikola. My version doesn’t have an artistic value bacause of the last moves [+bRa3] #, [+bBg1] #, [+bRh3] # ([+bLf1] #).
… but perhaps it will be funny for the readers.
I hope so, Julia will laugh on the play of her has popular Locusts here:
