Enemies are usually captured by surrounding them on two opposite sides with your own men; this is called custodianship. There is often a special rule of capture for the king, called enclosure, where he must be surrounded on all four sides to capture him. Special rules cater for situations where a piece would be otherwise invincible; a king sat next to his central square can be captured by surrounding him on the other three sides, and a piece next to a restricted corner square may be captured as if that corner square had one of your own men sat upon it, as illustrated in the top right area of the diagram. |
