The closest thing I could find was "Sooner Slice":

The net effect of A1 through the first half of B1 is Larks trade.
At that point, if the Robins look across and left, that's their original

Is there supposed to be a roll away after the B1 forward+back? That would
get the next Robin in the desired position.
