3*3B4/2pR4/s1p*3Q2p1/4k*3Rp1/8/b1P2p1P/5p2/K4B2

H#2

LEO d6
PAO f5
VAO d8 

(a) 1.Kd5 PAe5 2.Kc5 LEd5#
(b) 1.Kf4 LEe5 2.Kg3 PAf4#

In each solution the bK takes a two-step walk. After each step the square the king had previously occupied is occupied by a white Chinese piece. The first occupier becomes the rear-piece of an anti-battery mate and the second becomes the hurdle. The white LE and PA exchange roles and there is a diagonal-orthogonal echo in the play.
