Cheney-Loyd theme
A line-moving piece makes a critical move across the square where another piece of the same or opposite colour intercepts it. The active power of intercepted piece is suppressed permanently, unlike the temporary suppression in Indian or Maslar themes. The critical piece is neither captured nor moved again and has no function in the final position; the mate would remain valid if the critical piece were removed from the board. The critical move is typically a hideaway or tempo move.
