Locust-Kangaroo; Locust-Lion?


Can someone tell me is there a fairy piece which jumps over two pieces capturing them (probably Locust-Kangaroo?)
For example wLKa1, bPa3, bPa6: 1.LKxa3xa6-a7

I ask also about a piece such as a combination of Locust and Lion (jumps over a hardle and landing capturing the second piece - both pieces are captured).
For example: wLLa1, bPa3, bPa6: 1.LLxa3xa6

Is some of these pieces programed in Popeye or WinChloe and how can be included in the input file?

Once I thought of using a piece like Locust which can land anywhere beyond the hurdle while capturing it. However Diyan is looking for a Locust which will capture two hurdles.

Locust-Lion which would capture both bPs by LLa1xa3xa6-a7 or both bPs by landing at a6?

If the position is wLocust-Lion-a1, bPa3, bPa6, the move should be 1.LLxa3xa6
If the position is wLocust-Kangaroo-a1, bPa3, bPa6, the move should be 1.LKxa3xa6-a7

Is some of these pieces (probably with other names) exist?

Sorry Diyan, my mistake. You made it clear already in the 1st post. I confused the lines of your text.
The accidental result was a senseless "reciprocal change" :-)

A Double-locust, comparable with a double-grasshopper, would fit the description.

DL(DoubleLocust) would probably be stronger than Diyan asks.
wDLa1,bPa3,bPa4
1.DLa1xa3xb4-c4 or perhaps the other interpretation
1.DLa1xa3xb4-c5
That should be defined in case of bPa3,bPa4

StraightDoubleLocust would not be able to change direction after the 1st capture (which DG can).

Locust-Kangaroo might be what Diyan wants, but that would mean that ordinary Locust is just a short name which means Locust-Grasshopper.

Locust-Lion would have quite a different meaning and the Diyans examples would require for instance Queen>Locust(Q>L) or Locust>Queen(L>Q).
Q>L first captures bPa3 and then bPa6, landing on a7, while L>Q lands on the square of capture a6.
Q>L would be the same as "StraightDoubleLocust".

In case of bPa3,a4, Q>L could capture both Pawns landing on a5 but L>Q could not capture any of them.
This case actually doesn't need the nature of Locust, StraightDoubleQueen(Rook) would do that job (but also in case of bPa3,a6).
