However, due to the close relation with the "traditional" Zilahi, I wonder if this effect in helpselfmates (or selfmates), of the piece that forces the selfmate to be captured in the other phase, deserves (or if it already has) a name.
About #3 and #4: when you allow me to call Zilahi the captures of black giving check units in Helpmate I will agree with similar exploits in HelpSelf and Selfmate. Notice that the so called Zilahi changed sex:
