Bb5 (insert bad move here) 3. Game over If black knows to play c6 then 2. Bb5 c6 But white also knows black can play c6 so white plays: 2. Qh5 c6 3. Game over Now black also knows about this so the game becomes Can black predict white's move or not which is either Bb5 or Qh5 then also if he does predict it, the game only continues so it's just too good for white

I think your opponent in the first game of the "WORST GAME EVERRRRR" chapter was using an engine to cheat. Lichess has a free engine that can analyze atomic chess positions and games, and their engine shows that white played the best move on every single move. If you watch the game again and pay attention to the move times, you'll see they're very suspicious too. Really sad.

I used to play "Pacifist Chess", where any piece captured is immediately re-patriated to Boardland, on any square you wish, with the exception that white-controlling and black-controlling bishops must be placed on the appropriate color square. Obviously, the object is to collect the opponent's forces some distance from their king, leading to a quick checkmate. Other tactical situations arise as well, where you can replace a piece at a great disadvantage to your opponent. Pawns cannot be placed on the first rank, and you don't want to put them on the eighth!

Best line by gotham: "Oh my gosh, my opponent is destroying me"

I think this goes back further than the 90s. I recall playing a slight variation of this back in the mid 80's when in the high school chess club. The games played VERY fast.

I can really feel the „groove“ in „mogul grooves“ now with this video ...thanks for your great playlists lud

one crazy thing i always fall for in atomic chess is that when you have your opponent in +, he can actually get out of it if he has a move that explodes your king. even if your king would be exploded on your opponent's next move otherwise.
