Turnover. Three ring sizes fit into each other, combining and splitting into different pieces, sometimes taking over your opponent's.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

The rules you mentioned are correct, turnover applies both to own and to enemy pieces.

But the illegal move Ke8xd8 doesn't look like a turnover (in this case, that would be a combinination King + Queen to a completely new piece), but looks like a castling King - Queen.

Moreover, the King has already all 3 rings, so all ring-combinations including that of the Queen are already integrated in him. So he can be separated into two different pieces, but there is no piece to combine with him for a turnover - such a turnover would result in a piece not existing in chess
