Chess is a highly complex game, but one that follows a simple pattern: One piece attacks another. And that goes on and on until the white king or the black king is checkmated or the players agree to a draw.

However, the smartphone game Chessplode gives the strategy game a whole new twist. If you capture a piece, all the other pieces (barring the kings) on the same vertical and horizontal lines explode.
