No.102 – 03-Nov-2013 – Transformation of neutral half-battery, using Take&Make condition.

No.102

h#2 b) Bb7->e4 (1+7+3)
Take & Make
Nightrider c6; Grasshopper d6

Solutions:

a) 1.nNc6-a7 nGd6*f6-f5 + 2.Ka6*a7-c8 nRe6*e5-h8 #

b) 1.nGd6-b6 nNc6*e5-f4 2.Ka6*b6-d8 nRe6*e4-a8 #

Neutral half-battery transforms into two new neutral batteries. Activity of the black King. Take&Make condition works in 3 half-moves of 4. Reciprocal play of nN/nG: one is sacrificed to the black King, another one becomes a rear piece of the new neutral battery.
