What is a "custodian capture"?
Custodian capture is a game term used when an opponent’s piece is surrounded on two or more sides by the capturing player’s pieces. Once the opponent’s piece is blocked, it is removed from the board. This capture requires careful positioning and strategy, as it depends on trapping the opponent’s piece in a way that it has no possible moves left. It is a useful tactic for gaining control of the board and limiting the opponent's options.
Example
The player managed a custodian capture by surrounding the opponent ’s piece with two of their own.
After several moves, she executed a custodian capture, removing the opponent ’s piece from the board.
He set up a strong defense, which eventually led to a custodian capture of his opponent ’s piece.
