A small point on 'If your opponent captures one of your pieces and thus his king is facing your king nakedly'. A piece cannot make the Kings face each other by capturing an intervening piece, as it in turn BECOMES an intervening piece. You can do it by moving the intervening piece but whether that piece captures another piece (as long as it is non-intervening) is irrelevant.
