8 | When a piece captures another, it "bounce" on it until the next square in
9 | the movement's direction. If this next square is occupied, then it keeps
10 | bouncing and reach the following square, until either a free square or the
11 | edge of the board is met. In this last case, the capturer is lost.

14 Pieces bounced over are then "stunned" for two moves (four half-moves):
15 they cannot move during this period. If they get captured again while being
16 stunned, they are "kicked" out of the board, and all pieces standing on their
17 way vanish as well.

30 that after 2.Bxe5 Qxe5 black threaten to kick the white stunned bishop out.
