There are two ambiguities in the rules, both clarified by the example in which a Pawn can capture a Bishop. One is whether spaces occupied by your own pieces exist when attacked. In this example, the Pawn's space is attacked by the Bishop, yet the Pawn can still move. The other is whether the space a protected piece is on still exists. In the same example, the Bishop is protected by the King, yet the Pawn can still capture it. So it is only empty spaces that cease to exist when attacked.
