    I was the former #1 player in atomic in the world before retiring. Why the game is not technically "solved," white can basically force a draw at will if they desire to do so. The game is much more imbalanced towards white than normal chess. Theory is also extremely critical in this variant (atomic).

      @@falcon_224 There are a lot of ways Black can defend. White indeed already has an advantage from the beginning and can enter some lines that are near-forcing if they so choose. But I think the jury is still out regarding whether White can force a win at will with perfect play from both sides.

    8:12 - phenomenal flash of why he is a grandmaster - taking a look at the end game pawn structures and can already identify he wins on tempo! Throughout the video though he misses a lot, even when it gets deep into the game. I was curious how much grandmaster skills transfers to other chess variants -- seems like some, but still tons of work for them to do!

    3:05 Black has forced mate. Black should play Qh5! forcing f3, followed by Qh4+ forcing g3, followed by Qd4 forking d2 and f2. The only correct move after Qa5 was c3, which defends the all-important d4 square.
    6:25 White has an elementary win with Rc8+ Ke7 Re8+ followed by Rxe6#. He could also take h7 and win with the extra pawn.
    13:19 White has forced mate. Ne5! fxe5 followed by Qh5+ g6 Qg5 and it's over. I actually lost my first ever atomic game in this exact way, so I would know! Hikaru blundered the same thing again at 31:33 and this time, the opponent, rated 1900 and certainly experienced in Atomic, did punish it.
    17:48 2. Nd4 is tricky. The correct move for Black is Nh6, with not only covers f5 but has the counter-threat of Ng4-Nf2. A lot of players don't know that and simply blunder their whole kingside to the Nf5 fork.
    19:02 Qb6 wins for Black, the whole line was tricky to see though. d4 exd4 Be3 dxe5 Qd4 Bd3! when the bishop cannot be taken as it would explode White's queen.
    37:01 Nxf5 is a straightforward win. What a throw by mabulghe!

    honestly... in this variant, castling might be kinda bad since you want your king to have some space, unless you alr push the pawns

    question, wouldnt rook h7 explode pawn and rook which would make you have 1 pawn more then the opponent and a pawn would has nothing blocking its path in game 1? anyways wouldve beeh up 1 pawn if you do not promote.
