Emne: Atomic chess rules

Is it legal in Atomic chess for king to move close to opponents king? For example, white has a king on e1 and black on d3. Can black king move to d2?

From simply reading the rules it seems to be Ok, white can't capture black's king with Ke1xd2 because his king would be destroyd in explosion as well.

andreas: You're correct, there is nothing illegal about such a move. In fact it is frequently a tactic used to avoid direct capture and can prolong the endgame.
