Home page still needs edited to reflect this, though. Not sure how to do that.
Do you know how to propose Alpaca chess and Janggi? Also how to make my second for musketeer chess?
Also Harun Y has seconded Janggi!

I made an attempt. It is in the file index.html. Because Atomic Chess has the same start position as orthodox Chess, just displaying that position did not seem very helpful. So I tried to give the image some atomic flavor by illustrating what would disappear on a capture.
Somehow the image refuses to center, though.

Can I rather send you a screenshot of Lichess game moment with capture? Lichess permits its parts’ displaying even in commercial uses.
This is position from one of my 2298 games (not counting previous accounts with 4000+ played games). I think this image better covers the case of terminating player’s own pieces.
Other reason is that current image on the main page denoting Atomic Chess shows the move which ultimately leads to the lost game (via …Qf6 then 1. f3 Qd4 …# or 2. Kd1 Nd4 c3 Ne2 …#), which isn’t quite good.
The publication of your mnemonic SVGs will favour their diffusion; Well done they are very intuitive
I'm sorry, my English isn't the best either, but I think you mean that the said piece will favor their distribution.

Can you be more specific? I tried it, and at first glance it appeared to work.
