Ba4! 7. d7? Ne5+ =; 7. Bc6? Ne5+ = 7... Ne5+ 7... Kf5 8. Bc2+ +- 8. Ke7! White has managed to transfer the move to black. While the white king made a triangle manoeuvre (Ke7-e6-f7-e7, 3 moves) and the bishop a switchback (Ba4-b5-a4, 2 moves), the black knight walked on a diamond-shaped path (Ne5-d3-f4-g6-e5, 4 moves). These manoeuvres result in a tempo loss by white.

Hi Arpad.
Some weeks ago, an interesting position arise from a blitz game in my club, and was deeply analyzed.
After few moves a 7-pieces endgames KNpp vs KNp was ready for tablebases verfication: White win using study-like manouvre culminating in a latent zugzwang, followed by a long loop triple triangulation.
I don't know if it was a "cicling zugzwang", anyway i'm try to use it for a study.
Of course, i cannot post it here, but i'm interested of your opinion about.
Can i send it using e-mail ?
