Problem 500: Franz Pachl - Fairy (Take & Make, Camel, Giraffe, Zebrarider, Nightrider) |
![]() ![]() 1…nRxb8-a4 2.Qxc6-b8+ nZRxb8-b7+ 3.nCAe5 nGIxe5-d2#
1…nRxg7-a4 2.Qxh4-g7 nZRxg7-b7+ 3.nGIe5 nNxe5d1#
1…nRxb2-a4 2.Qxa6-b2 nZRxb2-b7+ 3.nNe5 nCAxe5-g6#
Zebrarider: a rider along any straight line of Zebra moves (2,3) leaper
Nightrider: a rider along any straight line of Knight moves
Camel: a (1,3) leaper, e.g. a1>b4 or a1>d2
Giraffe: (1,4) leaper
Take & Make: Every capture ("take") must be complemented by a further step ("make":not a capture) by the capturing piece, using the movement of the captured unit, otherwise the capture is illegal. Pawns may not end up on their own first rank. Captures on the promotion rank lead to promotions only if the pawn is still on the promotion rank after the "make" part of the move. Promotions at the end of the "make" element are normal. |

It would be much too much to expect that the black pieces on b8/g7/b2 would also change their functions cyclically. In fact, only one of them is active in each solution.
Surely a worthy problem for the jubilee!
