[[File:Atomic capture.gif|thumb|A capture in atomic chess. Nxg7 causes an "explosion" in which the capturing knight, captured pawn, and adjacent black rook and bishop are removed from play. Adjacent pawns are unaffected.]]
'''Atomic chess''' is a [[chess variant]]. Standard [[rules of chess]] apply, with the difference that all captures result in an "explosion" through which the capturing piece, captured piece, and all surrounding pieces of both colors other than pawns are removed from play. Some variations additionally remove rules concerning [[check (chess)|check]] such that the king may be able to move into (or remain in) check.
