If there were a position where you could capture the opponent's king, then this king
would have to be checked and left in check in the previous moves, which is impossible.
However, assume that we let a checkmated player make moves. We can not be sure
that we would capture his king, because he could possibly tie by perpetual check or threefold
repetition. He should only avoid giving a checkmate, because then we will be able to ignore
this check and capture his king.

imagine if all the pieces were pawns except for the king.
Or replace the pawns with queens (that would be complete chaos)
Or with knight, rooks, bishops, anything!
i don't think we can replace them with air though. that would be automatic draw.
