   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.

  27   After the move 1.fxe5 on the diagram, the red pieces are stunned for two
  28   moves. So white can then play 2.Bxe5, kicking the pawn and capturing (for
  29   real) at least the h8 bishop. An option for black may be 1...Qg5, such
  30   that after 2.Bxe5 Qxe5 black threaten to kick the white stunned bishop out.

  40   The goal is to capture the enemy king. Moves which kick your own king
  41   out are forbidden, but stunning him is allowed.
