5 If a piece is attacked and no orthodox move can prevent its (normal) capture,
6 it is considered to be mated and is removed from the board.
7 If such an orthodox move exists, it doesn't have to be played
8 (it could even be illegal because normal captures are forbidden):
9 the piece is not captured.

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

32 that is to say move or be left on a square where they are mated.
