{ In this position, white is up a whole bishop, but the position is drawn. Black's pawns are on dark squares, and the white bishop can't attack them at all - it's a useless bishop. In regular chess this would be a "bad bishop".
In atomic chess, we say that white has been *pawnitised*, or that black has *pawnitised* white. (Terminology by siggemannen, according to Rekursiv) } { [%csl Gd4,Gf4] }
