What is "atomic chess"?
Atomic chess is a chess variant where the rules of capturing pieces are altered. When a piece is captured, it causes an "explosion" that destroys not only the captured piece but also all nearby pieces, including those of the capturing player. The explosion affects all pieces in the eight surrounding squares. The goal of atomic chess remains to checkmate the opponent’s king, but players must be cautious about their captures, as they can destroy valuable pieces, including their own, during an explosion. This variant adds a layer of strategy, as players need to carefully plan their moves to avoid unintentional damage while aiming for a checkmate.
Example
I lost my bishop in atomic chess because I moved it too close to the opponent's knight, and it exploded after they captured it.
Atomic chess is a fun but tricky variant because it forces you to plan your moves more carefully to avoid self-destructive explosions.
I thought I had the advantage, but atomic chess quickly turned the game around with a sudden explosion.
