| 2 | | If a piece is attacked and cannot move out of attack, it is captured. | |

| 4 | p. | |
| 5 | Any piece that is attacked, but which cannot escape capture by moving away, | |
| 6 | capturing the attacking piece, or interposing the attacking piece is | |
| 7 | considered to be mated, and is removed from the board. | |
| 8 | Note that such a move does not need to be played: if a piece is attacked | |
| 9 | but not mated, it is not removed. | |
| 10 | Thus, kings and other pieces may remain under check. | |

| 12 | p. | |
| 13 | Pieces cannot be taken in the normal way, only by the "mate-capture" | |
| 14 | described above. | |

| 22 | Note about moves notation: since captures do not occur on final squares, | |
| 23 | an "X" mark is appended to the move to indicate a capture. | |
| 24 | To keep notation short the potential list of captured squares is not written. | |

| 28 | p. | |
| 29 | In the current implementation, all pieces except kings can "commit suicide", | |
| 30 | that is to say move or be left on a square where they are mated. | |
