Mihajloski theme

Two pieces of the same colour both stand on any line of the board. A is the front piece, and B the rear piece in one direction. They change position such that 1) A becomes the rear piece, and B becomes the front piece, and then again such that 2) A again becomes the front piece, and B the rear.
