  • In the course of a multiple capture a piece may visit the same cell more than once, but it may not capture the same piece more than once.

Coup Turc
Both rules are illustrated simultaneously in the 'Coup Turc', a combination that illustrates the implications of the rule that the capture must be completed before the captured men are taken from the board, and the rule that a piece may not be captured twice.


Notation
A white man on f4 can choose 3 directions: f45, fg4 and f4g5. A capture does not necessarily keep a particular line and may end on the square of origin. The 'x' sign comes after the indices, for instance e8g6x, eg8x or f6x.
