Anti-Circe Couscous: As Anti-Circe, but the capturing piece reappears on the Circe rebirth square of the captured unit. Pawns capturing on their rank of promotion are promoted before the rebirth. Captures on the rebirth squares are not allowed.
Anti-Circe: After a capture the capturing piece (Ks included) must immediately be removed to its game array square (necessarily vacant, else the capture is illegal). Captures on the rebirth square are allowed. Game array squares are determined as in Circe: R, B & S go to the square of the same colour as the capture; Ps stay on the file of capture; fairy pieces go to the promotion square of the file of capture.

Thank you, Michel. Hope this new example will tempt composers to try this condition!
The W1 wK moves, which protect the mating piece from capture, are very nice!
Nice way the condition has been used! But in my computer,Popeye vers.4.63 doesn’t check Anticirce Couscous condition. Any way out?
upgrade !
