I'm a typical player who enjoys the 1. Nf3
opening as white in Atomic chess games. Today in an online Atomic chess tournament, I come across a player who played the 1... e5
response. As 1... f6
is the typical response here, and 1... e5
doesn't protect the G5
square, 2. Ng5
could be played. But since 3. Ng7
allows the black queen to escape to E7
, or even worse to H4
and threaten an explosion at F2
on 2... f5
2. Ng5
doesn't seem to lead to anything effective. What should be played next?
[FEN ""]
[White "Attacker"]
[Black "Defender"]
[Variant "Atomic"]
1. Nf3 e5?!
