Rxe8

Rxe8 is a notation used in chess to indicate a capture on the e8 square by a Rook. In chess notation, 'R' represents a Rook, 'x' signifies a capture, and 'e8' denotes the square where the capture occurs. This move means a Rook moved from its current position to the e8 square, removing an opponent's piece that was on that square. Without further context, it is impossible to know which Rook made the move, or what piece was captured. For example, if a White Rook on e1 captured a Black piece on e8, the move would be written as Re8. If there were two White Rooks that could capture on e8, the notation might be more specific, such as Rae8 if the Rook from the 'a' file made the capture, or Rhe8 if the Rook from the 'h' file made the capture. The resulting board position after this move would see the Rook occupying the e8 square and the captured piece removed from play.
