Nuclear Chess (also known as Atomic Chess or Dead Square) is an unusual chess variant. Whenever a piece is captured, both pieces and all adjacent pieces are removed from the game. Nuclear Chess games are short and fun even for people who usually dont play chess.

Features:
* Simple rule changes compared to normal chess, yet totally different game play
* Play against AI, choosing one of 6 difficulty levels
* Undo your moves and try a different strategy
* Get hints from the AI if you are stuck
* Use shuffle mode to play with a randomized starting position
* Support for the three most popular Nuclear Chess rule sets:
- Full Blast (all adjacent pieces are removed from the game)
- Keep Pawns (adjacent pawns survive a nuclear strike)
- Dead Square (nuclear strikes leave a blocked square)
