Equihopper: | Moves along any line over another unit of either color to a square situated such that the hurdle stands at the mid-point between the Equihopper's departure and arrival squares. The English Equihopper cannot pass over an obstruction other than the hurdle when playing along Queen-lines. The non-stop/French Equihopper does not have this restriction. Unless otherwise stated, the non-stop Equihopper is meant. | [ENG] Moves along any line over another unit of either color to a square situated such that the hurdle stands at the mid-point between the Equihopper's departure and arrival squares.

Three pairs of variations. Initial battery LE-EQ is in the first two variations transformed into antibattery LE-EQ and in the last two variations into antibattery EQ-LE (after analogous defenses with avoidance of white self-check). Last variations 1.- VAxg5 and 1.- e3 create analogous pair too, with reciprocal exchange of white moves compared to the threat and 1.- Sc4/Sb5 defense.
Excellent.. mutual anti -batteries and Zabunov theme!
