That mouse icon has the right mouse button in a different color. How about
clicking it to see what it does ?

eboard does not display captured pieces. The middle region of the clock
area is used for displaying the crazyhouse stock, and I believe showing
pieces there on regular chess games would be confusing, but maybe
something can be thought for the future, like moving the clocks more to
the center and making a small row of pieces above the top clock and below
the lower clock.

What eboard shows is the material score for each side, like

Material 29-29

Material counts pawn=3D1, knight=3D3, bishop=3D3, rook=3D5, queen=3D9, king=
 is not
counted (infinite value), except in losers and suicide variants, where
material is just the number of pieces (all have a value of 1).
