a capture when an opponent's game piece is blocked on adjacent sides by two or more of the capturing player's pieces. The blocked piece is then removed from the game board as a result of the 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.
