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.
