Chess is debatable. Taking of pieces, if you squint really hard, is an abstract form of killing. It is however notable that checkmate does not actually remove the king from the board, but puts him into an impossible position.
To be clear, the difference between Chess and Call of Duty could not be more stark.

Isn't taking an opponent's piece referred to as a "capture"? This would seem to suggest they aren't being killed.

Excellent point! It indeed is referred to as capture. I stand corrected. Have some sats.
