Субъект: Re:

Justaminute / Nabla: I believe that in Atomic chess you should be considered to be in check if a move of your opponents could blow up the king.... i think that is a mistake in the implementation... however it doesn't really matter or change the game too much.

In this case you're asking the wrong question. Checkmate occurs at the end of move 40 - However - the definition of checkmate is that the king cannot move out of check on his next move. Since the next move is move 41, the ice age event intervenes and must be taken into account...

I don't see how the interpretation could possibly be any other way unless it is explicit in the rules (which it isn't).

You can argue that it is a lop-sided game as a result if you like, but I don't think you can argue the interpretation;.
