No.285 by Gani Ganapathi – Surprising Chameleon’s promotions! (JV)
No.286 by Gani Ganapathi – Although with a repetition of the mating move, a sympathetic ANI-problem! (JV)
Definitions:
Chameleon: On completing a move, a Chameleon (from classical standard type) changes into another piece, in the sequence Q-S-B-R-Q… Promotion may be to a chameleon at any stage in the cycle.
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). R, B & S go to the square of the same colour as the capture; Ps stay on the file of capture.
Equihopper (Standard English type): Hops on any straight line (joining square midpoints) to an equal distance beyond a hurdle. Interference and pinning effects are possible on the line.

285. Nice Ch.effects with different mates !
286. Though showing interesting strategy, the repeated EQ mates are probably avoidable. It might be possible to use two black EQ hoppers with interchange of functions.
