Body: <p>I have been playing atomic chess on <a href="https://lichess.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">lichess</a> for some time but I still can't definitively state what pawns captures will look like. I think they have a kill radius of 1 but it doesn't effect other pawns? If anyone has a clear and decisive answer, I would love to hear it!</p>

  I have been playing atomic chess on [lichess](https://lichess.org/) for some time but I still can't definitively state what pawns captures will look like. I think they have a kill radius of 1 but it doesn't effect other pawns? If anyone has a clear and decisive answer, I would love to hear it!

  The captures in atomic chess work as follows:
  
  1. The captured and capturing piece always die.
  2. Then, anything around the capture square that's not a pawn dies.
  
  For en passant, the capture square is the "bypassed" square of the double pawn move.
