If I'm not wrong "Makihovi" theme means 1...x 2.A,B/ 1.Y? 1...x 2.A/ 1.Z! 1...x 2.B (you can see interesting triple realisation on the following link www.yacpdb.org/?id=336461 ), but can someone explain the definition of Caprice theme?

Caprice Theme :
A try is refuted by a defence that causes a certain effect. The key creates the same effect with a new threat. A threat from the try reappears in a variation.
[Encyclopedia of Chess Problems, M.Velimirovic, K.Valtonen]

Example : 6D1/2sppd2/1p6/1P1kPSs1/1PTS2L1/3Pp3/4K3/L5l1

Makihovi Theme :
In the set play (or initial try) there are two or more mates after thematic defences. In the try (tries) and the solution these mates are separated.
Pattern
1 ~ a
X * AB
