27 | p There are two ways to win, by decreasing strength order: | |
28 | ol | |
29 | li Explode opponent king | |
30 | li Checkmate opponent king | |
31 | ||
32 | p Explosions have priority: a checkmate followed by a king explosion loses. | |
33 | ||
34 | p Note: since suicide is forbidden, a king can touch the opponent king - and become immune to checks. | |
