Object: Move all your pieces to the last two ranks of the board. 
 
All pieces move the same way. Various Chess pieces are used for the sole purpose to indicate where the pieces have to end up. E.g. the white King on e1 has to end up on e8.
 
(Please note that the following rules differ slightly from the rules of the original Deflector game).
 
Deflecting Moves:
If the piece is adjacent to a piece directly ahead, then the piece may one step forward (North) and then sideways one or two empty squares.
Similarly, if the piece has a piece to the left or right of it, then it may also move to this enemy piece and then North one or two empty squares.
You can execute several deflecting moves in a row, using the same piece. You may pass a partial move.
 
Sliding Moves:
A Token slides one or two empty squares into any direction. At the start of the game, only forward slides are allowed. However, once all your pieces have left the first two ranks, you can also slide sideways or backwards.
 
Jumps:
If your piece is on rank 1 or 2, it may jump (straight or diagonally) forward over an enemy piece.
 
There are no captures in this game.
 
Variant 2: You cannot execute more than one deflecting move in a row
 
 
Here is a little challenge for puzzlists: What is the minimum number of moves necessary to swap White's and Black's pieces? The same problem can be posed for the orginal Deflector game, and also for similar games like Evasion, Evasion II, Push etc. (Note that in Chess this problem has no solution).
