Babson


Recently James wrote about Babson, and Neal about making chess problems, and Joost about grasshoppers and SAT.
Well... sorry Joost, this is nor grasshoppers nor SAT, just "Breton"

In Breton, when you capture a piece you must take one of yours of the same kind off the board. If you have none, the move is orthodox, if you have more than one, you choose.

Nice motivations; Babsons are always one to delight.

Amazing problem with great content. Don't think double Babson has been done before

Congrats (and well done), Jacques.

This condition is now on my radar (until somebody achieves a triple Babson with grasshoppers and SAT).

WID 90994: one "classical" babson plus three "inverse" ones.

By Reto Aschwanden:
- 4 fold Babson in #2 (set + 3 solutions)
- Random, 2 secondary and 1 tertiary correction by BPe2
- 12 fold reciprocal change
- 4x4 Zagoruyko

But Jaques' problem may still be unique in showing 2 Babsons in the same phase.
