Atomic 2-bishop checkmate
Some ppl asked me for help getting better at atomic, so yeah here's one of the most popular kinds of checkmates high-rated players use (2000+).
.
So if you didn't know, the king can't take any pieces in atomic bc he's gonna explode himself. And bc there's one bishop on each color, they're super powerful at close range (like when they're touching the king) bc you can check both kinds of squares.
.
So once you get to the middlegame and your king's safe (I mean when your pawns block attacks from the queen and bishops) you needa get your bishops out. If you watch the game in the picture (the link's below) I used some strategies to get the bishop behind my opponent's pawns (idk if there's a name for it, but I threatened the rook and bishop in a way where my opponent couldn't take it without losing a bishop) so you needa look for those kinds of moves when you're attacking with bishops.
The rest of the checkmate should be pretty obvious, but make sure you keep your bishops touching the king so that they're impossible to take.
.
And yeah, that's it ig. If anyone thinks this is useful, I'll make some more blogs like this or smth. Here's the link btw:
