Thank you, Torsten! Two matching Q/K Indians, and 4x+1 “Love Chase” tries and key! I’ll slip in the haiku made by ChatGPT!

Torsten and Shankar,

Chess problems unite their minds,

Reciprocal aims.

Julia, The solution should read: 1…Qb8 2.Qh2 Kb1 3.Kd2 Ka2 4.Kc1+ Kb3 5.Kb1 Ka3+ 6.Qxb8= & 6.Qb2+ Qxb2#
And the definition should be:
Reciprocal HelpSelf(stalemate/mate) (Reci-HS=/#n): White and Black play in cooperation to reach a position where W can both =1 and S#1.

As more types of such double-goals are added, the “Reciprocal” prefix is confusing and has to be dropped in favour of the notation: m.nd|h(b|w w|b) –> A & B
where:
m.n: move length of the initial sequence leading to the multi-goal position
d or h: defensive or cooperative play
(b|w w|b): who moves first and who is to move when the multi-goal position is reached
A, B…: multiple goals which have to be executed in the position resulting from the common preliminary sequence
