No.598 by Kenneth Solja – Interesting start position with Rex Solus! (JV)
Definitions:
Andernach Rook-Lion (or Hurdle Colour Changing Rook-Lion): hops on Rook-lines over a hurdle changing its color. (In Popeye use: HurdleColourChanging RL).
Andernach Bishop-Lion (or Hurdle Colour Changing Bishop-Lion): hops on Bishop-lines over a hurdle changing its color. (In Popeye use: HurdleColourChanging BL).
Maximummer: Black must play the geometrically longest move or may choose from among longest moves of equal length, distances being measured from the center of each square. Diagonal and oblique distances are measured from the orthogonal coordinates by using Pythagora’s theorem (take the square root of the sum of the squares of the orthogonal distances). All other orthodox chess rules apply.
