I've updated the page, except for the last point,
since I am not 100% sure of that one.

Thanks for the good questions, Robert!
Whoops! I missed the part about check being ignored. I guess if, by selecting the order in which pieces are mated you mate the opposing King before yours is, you do win. Sorry about that!
My rules don't say, but in general in Chess you are not allowed to make
any move that causes your King to be attacked, so the move you describe
might not be kosher. I don't know.
'All mated pieces are captured, in the order chosen by moving player.' Sometimes making a move can result in some of your own pieces being mated. Is it still the player who moves, who decides what order the pieces are removed? If a move simultaneously results in the King's of both sides being mated, does the attacking player win, because presumably they would choose to remove the opponents King before their own.
Having consulted the Encyclopedia of Chess variants, I think I can answer
your questions:
<ul><p><li>
Yes, you must capture mated pieces.
</li><p><li>
All mated pieces are captured, in the order chosen by moving player.
</li><p><li>
If more pieces are mated (of either side) by the removal of mated
pieces, then those pieces are captured as well.
</li></ul>
If you mate a piece, does the attacking player have the option of not removing the piece from the board. Also, what happens if you simultaneously mate more than once piece. Are all mated pieces removed? What happens, if in mating a piece and removing it, the removal results in another piece being mated. Do you follow the chain until no more pieces are in a mate position?
