I would like to create a petition to change the name of the puzzle theme "Capture the defender" to "Remove the defender." The definition given is: "Removing a piece that is critical to defence of another piece, allowing the now undefended piece to be captured on a following move." Everywhere else this is referred to as removing the defender.
Very often this removal is done by deflection or some sort of simplification/trades that then removes the defender. There are a few puzzles I've run into recently that I would qualify as removing the defender that I didn't give the tag capture the defender however because they didn't involve us actually capturing the defender. All this is to say that I think "Removing the defender" is more typical and broadly applicable than the current term.
If you agree/disagree, let me know!
