Problem 613 (613.1): Krassimir Gandev - Fairy (Mirror Circe, Locust, neutral Pawn) |
(13.10.2015) Wonderful fairy problem by Krassimir Gandev with double mirror stalemate after 9 Locust promotions. The problem was found cooked and the author makes version 613.1 which is with Bishops instead of Knights on the initial position.

Mirror Circe: Like Circe, but the rebirth square of a piece is the square occupied at the beginning of an orthodox game by a piece of the same kind and of the other side. Related to the square they occupied before the rebirth:Rooks, Bishops and Knights are reborn on the square of the same color;Pawns (including fairy Pawns) are reborn on the same file; other fairy pieces are reborn on the same file and on the promotion rank of the other side. Locust: a piece which moves only to capture. It lands on the same squares as a grasshopper, but the arrival square must be empty, because the locust captures its hurdle. Neutral piece: A unit with this characteristic may be regarded as of either colour by the side whose turn it is to play. Neutral pawns promote to neutral pieces. |

hm... stalemates in Mirror circe are Mirror stalemates !!
And Seetharaman, this is not because of the used condition (Mirror Circe), but because the final stalemate position where both Kings positions are visually mirrored.
I understood Diyan. My comment was just in fun! You are right the king/knight positions are indeed a mirror reflection!
