Hypnose Equihoppers: d7,h7 Solution: (click to show/hide)
Author’s note to the Equihopper used: The equihoppers are English equihoppers. This means that the hopper effect is blocked by any piece other than the hurdle between the E and the destination square. In contrast to the standard equihopper that is sometimes known as the “non-stop” equihopper. The WinChloe notation is EA (equihopper anglais). although this is not apparent here because the equihoppers don’t move. The effect is seen here in that, in the solution, the Rh2 is pinned.
