Atomic chess bs

Uhh... Bxf2

I dunno lol

oof

c6?

This is a legal move yes

Hey, isn't atomic chess a guaranteed win for white

wot

if you can't capture with your king (checkmate yourself)

why can you unpin a piece

I think its because Bxf2 Totally Blows up the king...

yes

but it puts your own king in check

you can't do that in standard chess

Yes but The Bishop blows up  the white King before its White's move.

so? you still can't put your own king in check. 

Lets use the analogy of this.  The king sends the message for a piece to move.  okay, So if Bxf2 and the  white king is dead, so it cant send the order for the piece to kill Blacks King.

you just love disagreeing with people don't you

in chess

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE A MOVE THAT PUTS YOUR OWN KING IN CHECK

regardless of anything else

actually thats you.

Well this is not Chess. This is Atomic Chess. 

The reason why "check" exists in regular chess is because if you ignore a check or put your own king into check, then your opponent could just take your king. Basically, the only purpose is to allow stalemate. Otherwise, the goal of chess would simply be to capture the enemy king. 

In atomic chess, you can threaten to blow up the enemy king without giving it a conventional check. For this reason, it makes perfect sense for capture of the enemy king to be required.

Personally, I'm not too sure why this is considered bs. I see nothing but a perfect demonstration of how this chess variant functions. 

In this chess variant, exploding the King is the objective; in what is officially coined "atomic checkmate". The diagram you displays shows how you're supposed to win the game.

Now, my question is whether or not standard checkmate is a victory condition in this variant; or if check is still a condition that must be handled, much less checkmate. 

KotH and. 3-check have the same rules as standard chess and just an additional way to win. Note that checkmate still ends the game in those two variants, hence “check“ is still a thing.

Atomic is different, the rules for captures are changed and you only win by blowing up the king.

Yes, as long as your king can't be blown up immediately.
