Warm welcome to the very well-known author from Greece – Emmanuel Manolas!
It’s nice to see KoBul Kings condition again! See Emmanuel’s series of 4 problems, showing this condition:
No.88 – #2, KobulKings – Interesting demonstration of KoBul Kings in a direct problem! (JV)
No.89 – h#2, KoBulKings – Three elegant sacrifices of black pieces on b2, b3, b4. (JV)
No.90 – h#3, KoBulKings – Five solutions! Not quite homogeneous, but nice strategy. (JV)
No.91 – hs#3, KoBulKings – Two very difficult solutions. (JV)
Definition:
KoBul Kings – When a piece (not a pawn) of his own side is captured, a King transforms into a Royal piece of the same type as the captured one. When the King is in the form of any Royal piece and there is a capture of one of the pawns of his own side, he becomes a normal King again. Сaptures are illegal if their result is self-cheсk because of the transformation of the Кings according to KoBul rules. Castling is allowed only if the KoBul King is on his initial square in the form of a normal King and if he has not already moved; however he may already have been transformed. In the case of capture by a King in AntiCirce he is reborn on his initial square and may castle. If the capture is by a King which is in the form of some Royal piece, he is reborn on the initial square of that piece.

Interesting ideas here. But not matching the high standard of Mr. Manolas.
Thanks!
This is the story of my life. Most of the time I seem to be inferior than my better self.
