No.959 by Ján Kovalič – A cycle of moves’ repetitions in Take & Make problem. (JV)
No.959.1, 959.2 by Ján Kovalič & Ladislav Packa – An improvements to No.959. (JV)
Definitions:
Take & Make: Having captured, a unit must immediately, as part of its move, play a non-capturing move in imitation of the captured unit from the capture-square. If no such move is available, the capture is illegal. Promotion by capture occurs only when a pawn arrives on the promotion rank as the result of a take&make move. Checks are as in normal chess: after the notional capture of the checked K, the checking unit does not move away from the King’s square.

The main reasons for the adjustment of the problem are:
– in 959.1 is not processed the cycle of functions thematic white pieces. In 959.2 is it OK.
– purity of the genre. T&M Move Sxf7 (S-> f6) could be replaced after removing Sf7-d7 by orthodox move Sd7-f6.
