			<description><![CDATA[Now, this is indeed educative! Black Leos in 330. were not very convincingly used fairy pieces because the orthogonal/diagonal pinning effects were only artificial accidents. It could have been supposed that some additional fairy pieces would only make the things worse. But there is a supremely important element which connects the pieces and their functions/effects into single complex mechanism in 330.1. It is dual-avoidance, the pin decides which of the two potential pieces will block f6. And the PAf2/VAg7 are not only the dummy-hurdles, they respectively function as the active and the passive (virtual) part of anti-dual play. The unpin is performed as a battery-check, because wV/wF act as hurdles. White mates and parries the check by moving away the hurdle from the checking-line. This greatly emphasizes the fairy essence of the mechanism. Bravo Abdelaziz!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Very nice idea. What about the necessity of fairy pieces? Technical white pieces b1,d1 guard only one and the same square each. bLEf1 requires a hurdle (bPf3). bBg4 would do the same job without a hurdle. (I)White LEa8 Se7 Pc5 WEd5 FEf5 Pc4 Kc1 Black LEh5 Pd4 Bg4 Kd3 As Janos partially showed, Grasshoppers would be quite enough. (II)W: Se7 Pc5 WEd5 FEf5 Gf3 Kb1 B: Gb5 Pd4 Bg4 Kd3 Rd2 The pins of wWd5 and wFEf5 in the original are technical, to prevent many cooks. Black Leos must block e2, irrelevantly to their initial (pinning) position, so the "unpin" is only an artificial accident. That is perhaps not enough to justify convincingly these fairy pieces. But I'll accept that this might be a matter of personal criteria.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The fairy zoo holds its own very well here! Beautiful and light. I like the two different Leos self-blocking on e2. The opening W moves are delightful. Models and Zilahi-what can be bad?!]]></description>
