thx
@jackxu2006 atomic is an awesome variant. If you are interested in studying atomic chess, there's also a discord server where you can easily get help https://discord.gg/RhWgzcC
EDIT: some idiotic person deleted most of the original post. Thousands of people (including Magnus Carlsen) play atomic chess on lichess.org
is it where pieces blow up?
Yes, you're probably thinking of atomic. There are a couple lesser known variants that have pieces blowing up such as Beruit Chess, but you're most likely not thinking of one of these variants.
Great! I would like to try it!
Btw, Kim Jong Un is the unofficial world champion.
why isntt there any atomic on chess.com? Or am I missing something?
The one unfortunate thing about Atomic Chess is that white always starts with an advantage. Black usually only wins if white blunders or makes too many mistakes.
also the king can ignore check by another king as kings cant capture
