There are definitely pieces that can capture each other unless I am even worse at chess than I realized.

Pieces can only capture each other if they have differing colors.

Oooooh cheers, I did not even realize they had both colours. Good call.

The only sides that comingle are the bishops and you can see that they're on two different colors. Moving only diagonally, they'll never meet nor can they leave that two block entryway.
