Yes, they are, although they're replaced by the more basic concept of Rex capture. Strictly speaking, moving into 'check' is legal in EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX! Chess, but it's a very bad idea to do so if you can avoid it, because it will result in an immediate loss if your opponent is on his toes. The AnalogComputer and Water ensure that the same applies to Seeing Red out of or through 'check', and the last sentence in the Main Rules section establishes that 'stalemate' counts as a draw.
