This really sounds like politics to me
Now imagine the captured tile being unusable for the rest of the match.
The idea of a square being unusable sounds really fun. Do you know of any variants where this happens?
Not at all. But an unusable tile might just also be able to block piece pathing (as in, a tower can't access nor get past that tile).

I'm waiting on Atomic Fog of War for that real post nuclear war chess experience. We could call it Fallout
That mode would just be a 50:50 game because
1. Nf3 so black has to play f6 now white knows black has to play f6 therefore the following happens
1. e3 f6
Now here comes the 50-50 part
2. 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

@@xlorrix-6320 if you play continual top engine moves your cheating. Not even Magnus plays those
@A pimp named SLICK BACK Agreed, but to be fair, atomic is much easier to play best moves in. Especially if you take a little time to practice against a bot. He was only rated 1400 though, so that's a dead giveaway, but I've played against higher rated people who feel like they're just dancing around you while you're just fighting to survive.
Also, nice name 👌
Gotham should switch to playing this full time. He can be the Magnus Carlsen of Atomic Chess.
Do you mean MajesticCreek?
Honestly it feels like a forced win for white, let's not develop the theory to that point.
@@theoman971 majesticcreek is cheating
@@diogohenriques114 True, but apart from d4 nothing he did was better than most people around 1700 in this game could find. Even then in 3 2 time control playing d4 isnt asking too much from players. Im only in the 1800s in atomic and immediately realized black is probably lost after d4, after d5 it makes ne6 obvious and its time to resign.
Fun fact: magnus is very good at atomic chess too
Don't know about pieces but this is blowing my mind

“A lot of 1400-1500, lotta new players.”
Me with my 380 - :/
me with my 290
Me with my 780 :/
In variants it starts you off with 1500 elo even if you’re 400 in normal chess
Me with my 100 :(
Me with 2137 :(
I feel that unlike normal chess, it’s much more important to have no pieces around your king, rather than surrounding your king in pieces
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.
Gotham: “If they take this going to be upset. Again the reason you don’t want to take you lose “
Them: *Instantly takes
I play against a person called ChesSuxxX for around 1 hr but he had 2000 in atomic, if Gotham is only 1800 who could he be?

@@blazingphoenix3904 this was a day after it released. He didn't have time to get to 2000 especially since everyone else was so much lower than him. The only one he lost to was a cheater.
Really fun to see Gotham on a normal level of experience. “How did that happen”, and “wow that was a good move” 😂 just like what I say to myself when playing
the lack of instinctual foresight is humbling

21:27 "oh god, it's never too late to lose" pretty much sums up my games
MajesticCreek played really well. Suspiciously well...
I did a bit of analysis and found every move he played was either a top move or 2nd best. This guy is solid, or maybe...
Oh. His account was closed for fair play violation. So he cheated.
What made me suspicious was him waiting few seconds before playing the winning move. Which was around the same wait time, as for every move.
Gotham: "If I win this game in 2 turns I'll be very upset"
*Wins in 2 turns*
Me: Rolling around in my seat with laughter
This is so good
I can blunder pieces and win

Hahaha
I mean... he can, you (and me)... well who knows xD
This game mode gives a whole new meaning to "intercontinental ballistic missile"
ah yes, the RT2PM2 Topol-M cold launched, three stage solid propellant, silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile.
i feel like "its never too late to lose" is a great way of summarizing atomic chess
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!
Sounds a lot like shogi
@@spicyninja5372 definitely the capture and drop system from shogi
Avery Natham Yeah, but in this case it sounds like the original player keeps control. I think there's drop chess though that lets you use them as your own like in Shogi.
Isnt that crazyhouse
Geez, the queen and the knight are incredibly powerful in this game.
Black king: why are you hugging me?
White king: because we can:3
The kings touching is so cursed

In the third game you could’ve won on the third move with Bd3. Threatening Bg6!!. Then his only defense is g6 after which you go Nh3. And then black can’t stop both Ng5 and Bg6.

@@XoIoRouge It actually is

@@XoIoRouge It's pretty well made. Besides Jurassic Rook, it doesn't have any major problems IMO.
@@walugusgrudenburg3068 @Daridon248 Well, first off, in my opinion, it's not well designed. I played it once for about 3 hours, and instantly disliked it. It's a chess "mod" but trying to tack on a dozen or more things that would've just made it better if they didnt use chess. It doesn't work with Chess, IMO. Both of you are judging it through the lens of a Chess Mod rather than an independent game. *That's fine, I'm not trying to be toxic or put anyone down* - I just have a different criteria than both of you. I look for different things and some of the things you may enjoy are things I don't find a good inclusion.
And, IMO, The core "Chess" gameplay was a mistake, which overall makes me NOT recommend it.
I would talk more about the specific things I don't like but I honestly haven't looked at or played it in a long time, so I don't recall the exact reasons.

GothamChess: *Some men just want to watch the chessboard explode*
"This is the only time where the Kings can hug"
A bit poetic, considering the only time where two polar opposite sides can hug each other, is when they threaten to blow each other up.
Tells you a bit about humanity doesn't it?
actually, its because the kings are incapable of capturing, so hugging is possible because they cant threaten each other at all.

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.
youtube frog here
why is this in Mogul Grooves
It’s a pepeJAM
7:07 So this is the true Tennison Gambit ICMB variant it seems
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.
13:30 - Bc5 is your aim. In many lines with queen on f3 it is good to have an in between atomic-mate threat ply with removing you dark square bishop and remove your own atomic-threat on your king.
Great addition to the Mogul Grooves playlist!
Your daily uploads are highly appreciated, Levy! Your content is amazing, keep it up!!
I can really feel the „groove“ in „mogul grooves“ now with this video
...thanks for your great playlists lud
At the beginning, I thought, "oh, the tennison gambit intercontinental missile variation!"
This was so much fun to watch because you are new to it as well. I'd love to see more!
It's nice to see some variants ! Maybe that could also be fun to watch you learn other logic games, like shogi, go or connect4 haha !
Even though theres a ton of people playing on chess.com , not enough people play variant chess. 960 takes forever to find a game(so you might as well play a long game) and most other game-modes are dead with 2-3 players playing it.
“In my opinion Atomic is more fun when you don’t know the openings”
Well, you just had to wait until we were halfway through the video to say that, didn’t you?
congrats on 1 mil subs, hope you hit 5 mil subs soon!!
Please make more variants videos like king of the hill , horde , three check and others.Also it would be great if you will give some opening moves for these variants
Opponent can't mate me if my King disappears first

GothamChess playing MajesticCreek: Lot of new players it seems like.
After the game: *regrets it*
Are you in the fruit preserving business? Cause your jams are top-notch!
This joke has so many layers
I think there's a forced win for white in atomic, or at the very least a significant advantage with the knight line if I remember correctly from playing it a bit in lichess.
11:10 still waiting for that trap to be shown
this seems the ideal scenario to play the intercontinental ballistic missile variation of the tennison gambit.
Id like to see more of this!
Me looking at the title: Oh you mean when you lose a game and get angry and throw pieces all over the places?
Lol
yes, he mentions this in the video, that's correct.
Somebody play atomic chess
AlQaeda: ah, I see you are a man of culture as well
Yeah it seems to me that "suicide bombing chess" describes this type of chess a lot better.
11:17 the night move was good be cause if he takes night using pawn he could just move his queen out on to the green tile cause the pawn isn't there any more
11:37 the best move was Nf6 and after the capture with the pawn you can checkmate your opponent with Qd1 and after the capture with the bishop you lose two pawn and not a queen
king is literally standing on d1
so essentially piece exchange in a very summarized way..... its like that annoying kid who says his imposter teammate when he gets caught in anomg us

at 22:00 you can keep your queen if you play Kh8. Because if they fork your pawns on g5 with the knight then you aren't going to get mated because you can play h6. and if Ne5 threatening the queen you just move the queen
For those who do not know what to do to what I call the climbing silver at 10:40 counter with queens knight followed pawn f5 followed by knight atk. Queen pawn queen bishop combo
Why is this on Mogul Grooves? I'm not complaining
Cursed image at 2:20
I want to see more varients!
"1400 to 1500 players probably wont beat me" 1496 casually makes perfect moves
at 12:22 hes cheating, analyzed by lichess he played 1 second and all best moves
Yeah, the move times tell all. If it was played quicker, I could believe that they had been playing atomic a while and where high-rated on lichess. I've seen and analysed that line before, (because I fell for the e5 trap, and so set the engine loose on it to prepare) it's a good line to know - but this was pretty obviously someone cheating as they play.
Either this is gonna be fun or we’re running out of ideas

kings: hug
Does no one else think that levy was exclaiming like Sheldon Cooper throughout the video?😂😂
Oh my.
21:47 me in every game
Friendly advice- always make space for your king( by pushing pawns ) before castling in atomic chess
i think it would be more interesting if there was no check or checkmate, and if both kings explode at once it is a draw.
check especially does not make sense because if you are threatening a win in one move, the opponent checking your king does nothing to stop that.
7:42 When he said "1660" it made me re watch the diss track
0:04 lol🤣🤣🤣.
Its nice that you always have a little humor in whatever you speak. Please keep it up.

Knight is probably the most destructive piece in atomic chess
this reminds me of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Variation so much
