No.734, 735, 736 – Thomas Pantalacci – Three problems with a nice strategic complexes in a typical author’s style!
Definitions:
Patrol Chess (Patrouille): A piece can capture or give check only if it is observed by a piece of its own side.
Anti-Circe: Anti-Circe Calvet (the default type): 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.
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.
Lortap: A piece can’t capture if it is controlled.

Good stuff all three of them, I think, especially 734 with its Patrol-specific line play.
