Damage, not captures
An attack reduces HP. If the defender survives, both pieces stay in place.
Chess enters the battlefield
Every piece can survive the first hit.
Classic movement meets tactical combat. Attacks remove HP, wounded units hold their square, and victory comes only when the enemy king falls.
