8 | p But wait... what is a chess variant? | |

11 | As suggested by the picture, a variant setup generally looks more or less | |
12 | like a chessboard with regular pieces (otherwise it's no longer a variant | |
13 | but a whole new game). | |
14 | p.emphasis.purple However... | |
15 | p Each variant has its own new rules, which can involve | |

30 | Example: imagine that a capture is an atomic explosion, wiping all | |
31 | adjacent squares – except the pawns, which as cockroaches can | |
32 | resist this kind of event. | |
33 | p Also state a goal: make the opponent's king explode. | |
34 | p → Congrats, you defined Atomic chess! (Playable here) | |

40 | openings memorization, you have to rely on your chess skills only. | |
41 | No game is like another one. | |
