Circe: Captured units (not Ks) reappear on their game-array squares, of the same colour in the case of pieces, on the file of capture in the case of pawns, and on the promotion square of the file of capture in the case of fairy pieces. If the rebirth square is occupied the capture is normal.
No.1460Manfred Rittirsch Germany original – 27.11.2019 In memoriam Dieter Müller
Either wB mates on d4, in which case wPd3 must go (and its guard of e4 be replaced by a black self-block), so that d2 must be temporarily blocked by wR; or wB mates on c5, in which case Pd3 must be guarded (which Rd1 doesn’t do!), and Pa3 must be captured en route so that a7 must be temporarily blocked by bR. The details are different in the two solutions, which is natural in a bi-colour theme like this; the thematical temporary square-blocks are identical. Nice problem!

A duplex-free duplex!

Like this very much! “Cross-party transfer of theme”– white imitating black. Seems a new genre. Very nice
Perhaps not a new genre, there are problems with echoed strategy between White and Black. But the terms “duplex-free duplex” and “cross-party transfer of theme” are new to me.
The form is unusual, perhaps because it is hard to set the idea harmoniously (which Manfred did here!).

Kjell is absolutely right: the “cross-party transfer” concept is not new, but exploited very rarely because of implicit challenges. See G179, FA 2010-2012 for an example with reciprocal critical moves.

Very nice, but Julia it is 6+11 not 2+12 pieces
