How does Displacement and Capture Games differ from the chess family of games?
Its pieces are identical or near-identical, unlike the differentiated ranks and powers of chess-family pieces.
Displacement and Capture Games covers games such as Alquerque, Draughts (Checkers), Fanorona and Surakarta, in which pieces move and capture opposing pieces by displacement.
