The WW3 Chess Variant

[@Lettuce-fl4wt]

"It's not like I'm gonna lose to a 1700 just because I am down 12 points of material" -- Carl Magnussen

[@whosilence]

Not quite unlike Magum Carlos

[@CB-lh4ph]

funnily enough, Magnus Carlsen was down 12 points of material against Arjun Erigaisi a week or two ago

[@connor9024]

A checkmate in atomic chess is insane

[@Kayrim_Borlan]

I didn't even know you could checkmate

[@himothaniel]

First time seeing this variant. At first I thought checkmate would be hard too. But then he pointed out the kings can't capture. That should make it easier.

[@Rackox]

What a comeback on the third game!

[@kragast]

- Kaboom? - Yes, Riko, kaboom!

[@jklm011]

This variant is so crazy, so many moves that would normaly be blunders can't be punished because taking would lose material. This is gonna be a wild ride.

[@ratpackenterprises1607]

Now we need someone to make atomic duck chess

[@voyant_3]

The correct pronunciation of ado followed by the incorrect pronunciation of content gets me every time

[@thetone90]

makes me quite content

[@sorin_markov]

adieu

[@mihadragon7165]

gonna love the series, please continue

[@crushme2233]

Something about that muted explosion sound just hits right every time 💥

[@Hezzers]

People always joke about launching the queen across the board as an ICBM missile... but this is ridiculous!

[@mattevans4377]

Down on material, and a checkmate in atomic chess. Simp was just flexing on their opponent

[@Redstoner34526]

Yo my friend and president of our chess club used to be a top 10 atomic player in the world 😂 there’s a surprising amount of theory to it.

[@jabislawthegreat]

3:39 queenside castle with least pieces moved speedrun!

[@Luke4PlayerChess]

5:49 Ne3 mate next move. Loved the comeback!

[@BioHzrd0010]

1:31 Not technically an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, but come on, right?

[@charleslisauskas9067]

Possibly the most ICBM of all ICBMs

[@john-paulgies4313]

"Atomic chess speedrun today..." _Ah, he's actually going be right to say 100% w-_ "300% WIN RATE!!!"

[@Topakhok]

By doing that he actually undermines all the other games, where he has 200% - 100% = 100% win rate, because at this point it’s “just 100%, nothing interesting”

[@dylanvellut]

This video has been sponsored by yoshikage kira Killer queen !

[@yuvalne]

my gripe with atomic is it obligatory opening theory that is even worse than classical.

[@theneoreformationist]

Yeah it's really rare to have an actual game of this that isn't just an instant loss to a knight.

[@TheSmartboy64]

Have to respect that comeback in game three. Very impressive good simp.

[@davidtitanium22]

Very describing of nuclear war where regular power imbalance matters less when a single bomb can wipe out so much

[@khaelkugler]

I've been waiting for this for SO LONG

[@ironcicadamkw5241]

That third game was impressive. I've been struggling a little bit with my Atomic game so I'm looking forward to this series.

[@rookjameson]

Holy shit, that last game! What a comeback!

[@kitthekat6844]

Excited for this series! ❤

[@Bedhead7]

That last game your testosterone was on unknown levels

[@Patashu]

Wow atomic chess games are so fast, I'm surprisingly enjoying this

[@squiffurthewolf6276]

Wow this is a fun variant, i cant wait for more videos

[@uwu69420uwu]

5:08 is bro high?💀

[@Zenyx64]

blud confused atomic chess with anichess, thought he had bis-hop 2.0

[@RaceBandit]

I forgot pawns can't be blown up.

[@djartur25]

The last game was absolutely badass and gigachad

[@Walter_Hartwell_White_Senior]

WE WANT DUCK CHESS

[@zapzap1485]

Hell yeah, I love atomic chess

[@oussama7132]

petition to rename mate in one to kaboom in one

[@Infarlock]

This time he said good morning

[@washington_pc3306]

What about a 4 player chess series? That would probably cause many weird scenarios

[@Luke4PlayerChess]

I wonder who else wants this. 🤔

[@jaspervanalphen7394]

Great new series

[@AM-yk5yd]

The last game was actually interesting!

[@Kangaroo-Bob]

200% win rate and a paid actor 😉

[@NoNsToPxs]

I have to learn atomic chess to snipe you now?

[@Tera_GX]

That bomb-strapped killer Queen move seems like it should warn as a Check. It's going to be in a ton of games.

[@ahlpym]

That feels similar to warning a possible checkmate as a check. Which isn’t done.

[@ElBlocko]

Ah, atomic chess, the variant where opening with a move besides Nf3, Nh3, or e3 should be considered a side variant

[@kreassen6930]

Oh yes my fav Variant

[@000Lucka]

EXPLOSION!

[@witchluisamultifandom1212]

Simp making a series on the best variant LESS GOOO

[@IllIl]

More kaboom! chess please

[@Modie]

5:40 Do pawns not explode or why are these captures not killing all the other pawns around it?

[@Thori45]

wtf this is crazy

[@lastar7824]

the only reason knights are strong is because they can get out straight away

[@craigspaulding9711]

There’s a reasonable argument to be made that knights are actually stronger than queens in atomic

[@calebclark5880]

“But I believe the rules are simple enough to understand” -Chess simp about Atomic chess The title of his previous video “The most confusing Chess variant EVER” 😂😂

[@RenGC]

Awsome tird game

[@harleye1235]

Wait what would happen if both kings were in the blast radius of an attack

[@pourygin9496]

Would Knight captures f3 trigger an 8x8 explosion and destroy the king?

[@MualaniOsu]

fein

[@Pankypops]

Terrorism Chess.

[@joshuahudson2170]

This might be a poor implementation of it; normal checkmate detectors do not function because if the kings are adjacent neither king can be captured.

[@victorfinberg8595]

1:00 it's not KA-boom, it's ka-BOOM

[@sonsysy4195]

2 paid actors

[@alarmolord]

I wonder how will you calculate the win rate if you lose three games in a row.

[@manstick64]

so whats the best way to learn

[@valeckseimu3132]

Fun variation..but too easy n aggressivly fast! King should not explode like pawn and pawn caputure should not cause kaboom

[@TheVonWeasel]

Why didn't the pawns explode at 3:40?

[@prurq]

Check the right side of the screen: pawns are immune to an explosion of a piece

[@B0NES48]

Where do you even find these??? The better question is, why aren’t they on the app?

[@figtreez]

You gotta get above 1500 elo

[@B0NES48]

@ lol maybe one day. They’re not on the app which is where I play. Found them on the actual website

[@marct4293]

Chess variants are only available in pc version

[@vistaman1]

spaghetti

[@Olothur]

Why spaghetti? Why two ppl left a like under spaghetti? I am confused

[@grain_o_salt]

juan

[@GerhardTreibheit]

why are there checkmates?

[@AndrewGaming587YT]

Same reason they exist in normal chess. If the king can’t move out of check, and is in check, and another piece cannot capture the checking piece (or surrounding piece if the checking piece isn’t a pawn and the surrounding piece to be captured isn’t adjacent to your own king), and the check can’t be blocked, it’s checkmate.
