	Circe chess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For instance, a white pawn captured on b4 is reborn on b2; a fl knight captured on f6 is reborn on b8; a fl rook captured on the same square is reborn on h8.
		Circe is rarely played as a variant game (when it is, it is usually combined with progressive chess), but very often employed in composed chess problems.
		Circe Parrain: a captured piece is reborn on the square displaced from the capture square by a vector equal to that of the move following the capture.

	Albino (chess)
		An Albino is a chess problem in which, at some stage in the solution, a white pawn standing on its starting square makes each of its four possible moves: one square forward, two squares forward, capture to the left and capture to the right.
		The nature of the Albino theme is such that in orthodox chess there must be at least four variations to show the four different moves of the white pawn.
		However, if the rules of circe chess are applied, the number of required variations can be reduced to two (circe is a chess variant in which captured pieces, rather than being removed from the board, are returned to their home squares).
