Rehm theme

Two line-pieces stand on the same line. One moves around the other (complete peri-manoeuvre). Then both pieces move (or have an effect) on this line in the same direction. In the complete form of the theme, the combination is made possible by an anticritical move. (Definition from FIDE Album)
