First Atomic Chess Game
Sort:
Me play black?
Oh yeah, and you forgot to mention that checkmating a king is when a king can't escape capture and a king can't capture anything or it'll explode.

Thank you for telling me. Even though it is usually assumed that the game ends by checkmate, it's a good idea to put that in.

Game Over. DPG1232 won by king detonation.
Idea from chessmaniac5. Rules from Wikipedia.
In atomic chess, both pieces are removed from the board (i.e. "killed"). Furthermore, this atomic explosion extends to all eight surrounding squares. Any pieces caught in the surrounding squares are also captured with the exception of pawns. Pawns are captured only when they are involved in the actual capture event in the central square. In en passant, ground-zero of the explosion is the square on the sixth rank upon which the capturing pawn lands. The game frequently ends with one king being caught in the explosion of a surrounding piece. Moves that result in the explosion of your own king are illegal.
Post your move using algebraic notation. The first post (this one) will have a move list and a picture of the board. Every time I see a new post, I will update the picture of the board and turn it so that the side who's turn it is comes up in front. Make sure you track this topic so that you know when it is your move. As soon as you join the game post something so that I know. The game will begin as soon as we have 2 people ready to go. Have fun!
