Bomber Piece

After your 6th move, one pawn on the affected side is armed. It explodes if captured or after 10 more moves. Its 3×3 blast removes every piece it catches. The blast does not chain. A king caught in the blast loses, and both kings caught means a draw.

Difficulty: hardAppears in: 2 levels

Strategy notes

Turn the constraint into a lever.

Plan around it

  • Track the armed pawn and the 10-move window.
  • Use the 3x3 blast to pressure both kings.

Keep in mind

  • The bomb becomes eligible after your 6th move.
  • It explodes when its carrier is captured or the 10-move window ends.
