This was invented in 2023 by K.Seetharaman, the inventor of the related "Superguards" condition.
No article or original was published, but Christian Poisson programmed it in v4.00 of WinChloe.
Subsequently, it was also used in two entries (see below) in the Seetharaman 75-JT.
Definition: A piece can only be captured if it is guarded by a piece of its own colour.
