h3 End of the game

p There are two ways to win, by decreasing strength order:
ol
	li Explode opponent king
	li Checkmate opponent king

p Explosions have priority: a checkmate followed by a king explosion loses.

p Note: since suicide is forbidden, a king can touch the opponent king - and become immune to checks.
