When a mat is submitted to one of the two sides, he is forced to play it.
A capturing piece reborn on its original square and the captured piece disappears.
When the renaissance square is not free the capture is illegal unless the capture and renaissance square are the same
in which case a distinction is made between the Calvet type ( authorised capture) and the Cheylan type (prohibited).
