6 | When a piece P captures an opponent figure on some square S, all pieces |
| 7 | sitting on a square reachable by a king move from S are removed, including P | |
| 8 | itself. | |

| 25 | ol | |
| 26 | li Explode opponent king | |
| 27 | li Checkmate opponent king | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | p Explosions have priority: a checkmate followed by a king explosion loses. | |
