Anti-Circe Calvet (the default type): After a capture the capturing piece (Ks included) must immediately be removed to its game array square (necessarily vacant, else the capture is illegal). R, B & S go to the square of the same colour as the capture; Ps stay on the file of capture; fairy pieces go to the promotion square of the file of capture.
Nightrider:a rider moving along any straight line of S moves. |

This problem is the result of hard work by the composer who efficiently improved his entry for the 2015 Tzuica Tourney. The specific AntiCirce pins are a very nice feature.
The Nightrider seems underused, but it has a role in both twins: it is captured in a) and it guards e7 in b).
