Anti Take & Make

     Definition: every capture ("take") must be complemented by a further step ("make" - not a capture) by the captured piece (Kings excluded), which must move from its square of vanish (according to the wishes of the capturing side in case of options). The capture is forbidden if the captured unit have not possible move. Promotions at the end of the "make" element are normal.

The problems with „Anti Take & Make” condition can be checked by WinChloe!

     Scheme:

-In case of capture 1…K:e2 the blacks will decide where the wP should play – on e3 or e4, for example: 1…K:e2(wPe4)

-wKing can not capture the bRh5 because after his movement it will be selfcheck: 1.K:h5(bR~)?? selfcheck. But if the Madrasi condition is included the following capture is possible: 1.K:h5(bRh1)!

- If white Rook capture the bPb2 the whites will decide which piece should be promoted on moving bP on b1, for example: 1.R:b2(bPb1Q)

- the capture 1.R:a1 is not allowed because the black Bishop have not legal move: 1.R:a1(bB??)??
