M.A.D. Chess[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Here's something I thought of yesterday. M.A.D. Chess is just like Chess
except that each side also has a large nuclear arsenal capable of wiping
out the enemy many times over, and each side is able to use it at any
time. In fact, if one side decides to launch a first strike, the other
side still has a bit of time to launch a full strike of its own, mutually
assuring the destruction of both sides. The game plays like Chess, but
players may threaten a first strike for certain moves, and they may carry
out their threats. For example, a player may threaten nuclear annihilation
if his King is ever checked or a piece ever captured. Most games of M.A.D.
Chess should end in stalemate.
