Would you please add Machine Gun Chess?

Well, any piece that can be attacked gets immediately removed (just like Rifle Chess, unlike normal chess). For example if a white queen is moved to a1 and there exists a black pawn on a7 and nothing in between then the black pawn is removed. If two pieces can attack each other then both are immediately removed. If any such removal reveals more attacks then the removal procedure continues until no pieces can attack each other or one side is eliminated.

The kings have no royal power and the one that eliminate the other side wins.

P.S.:
1. After playing against myself for some time, I do not believe that there is a huge white advantage. 1...e5 or g5 seems to be a good move against 1.e3 which can be pretty dangerous if black does not respond correctly. It is true that opening is very important, but an opening mistake does not result in immediate failure. Relative power of pieces seem to be Q>R>B>N>K>P.
2. I can help out with writing the program if necessary.
Also this game is not implemented anywhere in a HvH fashion..So it needs to be implemented.
Can you please link to a web page that doesn't completely suck and doesn't require a Java browser plugin?
I will have to write my own version since the only two places I know that offers this game use Java that require manual settings..
I again propose machine gun chess. This is an atomic-like game rhat is not trivial.
It's a good variant. Reminds me of Afterwind (now atWar), an excellent semi-simple grand strategy game. Though I wouldn't hold your breath for MG Chess being implemented. There are higher priorities, including higher priority variants. You can find the list here: github.com/ornicar/lila/issues/441

However, pull requests are most welcome if you'd be willing to do the bigger part of the work (with guidance, ofc, the codebase is enormous). Join us on #lichess at freenode to discuss. You will need an IRC client to do this, e.g. http://hexchat.github.io/.
Anyone is willing to play machine gun chess through FEN, may I ask?
