About
One of the very newest skills the in the code of points, the Derwael has pushed the difficulty envelope for bars releases, combining the most difficult layout shape with a 1/2 turn.

The skill is not without its own controversy, obviously, regarding the question of whether this is actually a layout tkatchev with a 1/2 turn, or whether it is a layout tkatchev caught in mixed grip, the positioning of the hands then torquing the body around for the 1/2 turn after the catch has already been made. The WTC views it as a new 1/2-turning version of the Nabieva, and have awarded it an extra letter value as a result.
