A loop for the captureSourced
The attacking route leaves the ordinary grid
In Surakarta, circular loops beyond the grid are used when capturing an opposing piece. They are not simply decoration around the board. A capture opens a different route from ordinary movement, with the piece passing through a loop before reaching its target.
The curve outside the grid belongs to the attack.
