If transitioning from square 7 top to square 7 flip is indeed a non-move,
some ambiguities concerning capture remain.

Imagine that a Topside Pawn moves to square 7 topside. Then a Flipside
Knight moves to square 7 flipside. Since it is essentially the same
square, is it compulsory that Knight takes Pawn, or can they co-exist? How
long can they co-exist?

If capturing is not compulsory, can Pawn take Knight instead in the same
'inter-turn / between-turn'? Could Topside move a different piece, and
Pawn would/could still take Knight in a non-move?

If capturing is compulsory, which I would suggest for logic's and
clarity's sake, does the board have 84 or 78 unique cells?
