I would like to propose to add a new chess variant to the site. It is quite easy and it is really fun. I call it: "Atomic-x" or "Atomix".
You know, atomic is an explosive variant, cause, taking a piece is like let down a small bomb in the square whre the piece is taken: every piece one square arround disappears (with the exception for pawns).
Well Atomic-X chess is even a more explosive game. It is played with the same rules than Atomic Chess, but with this two additional rules: 1. when a piece is captured, not only disappear the pieces around the taken piece, but also the square in wich one the piece were taken. So, nobody can locate a piece in that square from now on. 2. Once a square has disappear (by some capture on it) no attacks are allowed trougth that square, neither a piece can pass trougth that square; i.e. if white takes Nc8, it will be impossible for black to do long castle (o-o-o), since rock can pass trougth c8 square.
That is all!
I think about this variant cause i used to play atomic chess. Atomic players can find it interesting, i guess.
What do u think about adding this new variant? :-)
Ukimix: It will be very interesting to se how tha game evalve this way. Probably it will give to the game more strategy without losing the taktik and dynamicity that makes atomic chess so fun. I think to give it a try and test play it.
OLTI27: This does sound like an interesting variant. There is another variant called Cursed Chess, which is somewhat similar, although not exactly the same. When a piece is captured it curses the square it is on so that enemy pieces are unable to cross it once the capturing piece leaves. Friendly pieces can still use the square though.
