Hello,

The 2nd International Solving Contest (ISC), that will be held on 22nd of
January, is the occasion of some problem animation in France.
This year a quick composing tourney is held by Eric Pichouron.
It is opened to any kind of composition including retros

The theme is the following :
Echo manoeuvers in a single line of play (phase)
(there can be several phases; if so, each one must include some manoeuvers
with echo)

Examples
Michel Caillaud (scheme)
5B2/4K3/8/1p4r1/1k3b2/R7/8/3r3b
h#2 (6+3) C+
1.Bd2 Kd6 2.Rg2 Kd5# (with diagonal-orthogonal echo manoeuvers)
