1.Rd4? th. 2.Sc4#
1...Bc4 2.Gc3#
1...Ba2!

1.Gc3! th. 2.Rd4#
1...Bxc4 2.Sxc4#

Djurasevic cycle - one of the first problems with this theme. Peter Gvozdják in Cyclone remarks that this grasshopper was the first ever fairy unit used by Ludovit Lacny, he had more than 60 years in these days!

1...Bf7 2.Se5#
1...Bg7 2.Qh1#
1...Sc7 2.Qxc7#
1...Sd7 2.Qxd7#

The only pao at c1 is used for cyclical halfpin typical for chinese and lion pieces. It appeared e.g. in much heavier #2 by Jurij Gordian and of course in many other problems. Double-pin mates in twomover are almost always nice to see in direct twomover...

One of BF's experiments with changes of functions of white moves. You can find threat paradox, pseudo le Grand as well as cyclical pseudo le Grand here, and of course changes of mates.

The only black grasshopper was enough for Ivan to show Brabec theme - cyclical change of defence motives of two defences in three phases - including fairy motive antibattery guarding. Motives:

A - antibattery indirect guarding
B - direct guarding
C - gate closing
