Atomic fool's mates

@ryanjam #6

Any mate which results in quick-mate is a possible fool's mate.
(At least in atomic.)
Take it easy. Not always queen being used.

Only one mate is technically fully agreed upon as an Atomic Fool's Mate, which is #2, because for most Standard chess players, taking a piece is good. The other mates are horrible decisions like #1, the mate is defendable, however, they chose not to defend, a horrible decision.
Whe quickst is this [Variant "Atomic"]

Appreciate your commentary but a kind of fool's mate is possible,
only when a player is completely unware of defending choices
and inviting a player to let him/her win the game so easily and
as easily as chewing a chocolate.
