p.boxed.
  Each capture results in an "explosion" through which all surrounding
  pieces other than pawns are removed from the board.

p.
  When a piece P captures an opponent figure on some square S, all pieces
  sitting on a square reachable by a king move from S are removed, including P
  itself.
  The pawns, however, remain: they have to be taken directly to disappear.

p.
  Suicide is forbidden. Thus a king can touch the opponent king and become
  immune to checks, like on the following diagrams: 1.Rxf5 is impossible.
