I’m happy to present you a joint problem by two authors – Alain BIÉNABE & Sébastien LUCE – and to welcome a new author – Sébastien LUCE, France! Let me quote Alain‘s words about Sébastien: “Sébastien Luce is a “new” composer but he is an IM in chess game !” Thanks to the both authors!!
No.193 – h=4 – A surprising stalemate-final! (JV)
Definitions:
Grasshopper(G): Moves along Q-lines over another unit of either color to the square immediately beyond that unit. A capture may be made on arrival, but the hurdle is not affected.
Nightrider(N): A Rider along a straight line on squares lying a Knight`s move away from each other.

I believe with Rooks and Equihopper (nonstop or stoppable) one capture may be saved:
