Chernobyl Chess

Chernobyl Chess is an addictive multiplayer chess variant where you can set off explosions and radiation by capturing pieces on the board, and it is always your move! The rules for movement are exactly the same as chess. The way to win is to explode your opponent's king!

The game is very similar to the popular Atomic chess variant. Additionally, radiation is left on the board after an explosion. Moving through radiation results in mutated pieces. Careful not to move directly onto radiation! Boards are also shared with many other players. Once you make a move, a new game shows up immediately!

Each move is timed for 1 minute by a chess clock. Every move you play brings up a new board, resulting in an endless sequence of games. Even if you make just a single move in a game, other users will play out the rest of the game for you.

Make sure to play good moves to win games and watch your rating and other stats increase. The more moves you play in a particular game, the more points you will get for winning. Exploding your opponent's king gives you the most points!
