-p.boxed
- | If a piece is attacked and cannot move out of attack, it is captured.
-
-p.
- Any piece that is attacked, but which cannot escape capture by moving away,
- capturing the attacking piece, or interposing the attacking piece is
- considered to be mated, and is removed from the board.
- Note that such a move does not need to be played: if a piece is attacked
- but not mated, it is not removed.
- Thus, kings and other pieces may remain under check.
-
-p.
- Pieces cannot be taken in the normal way, only by the "mate-capture"
- described above.
-
-p The game ends when a king is "mate-captured".

- Note about moves notation: since captures do not occur on final squares,
- an "X" mark is appended to the move to indicate a capture.
- To keep notation short the potential list of captured squares is not written.

-h3 "Suicide" note
-
-p.
- In the current implementation, all pieces except kings can "commit suicide",
- that is to say move or be left on a square where they are mated.
