[Retros] Quick Composing competition

[CAILLAUDM at aol.com]

Hello,
 
The 2nd International Solving Contest (ISC), that will be held on 22nd of  
January, is the occasion of some problem animation in France.
This year a quick composing tourney is held by Eric Pichouron.
It is opened to any kind of composition including retros
 
The theme is the following :
Echo manoeuvers in a single line of play (phase)
(there can be several phases; if so, each one must include some manoeuvers  
with echo)
 
Examples
