What is the danger of an advanced pawn?
Just imagine - you are calmly playing atomic. The opponent moves his pawn from the king or queen forward. This seems to be a good thing at first glance - the opponent is focused on advancing the pawn without developing the rest of the pieces - an excellent basis for attacking him. However, if the pawn is in front of your king in three squares, then this is already a reason to start trying to stop it. I don't feel sorry for the pawn, it's almost worthless, but it's not deprived of the rights to explode. To move a pawn towards the enemy king is to launch a bomb, which, if not "shot down" in time, it will explode on its own and pose a huge danger near the crawl.

Where is it better to move a pawn - from the king or from the queen?
From the queen. Because in pawn promotion tactics, the queen either checks the enemy king or blows him up, and the pawn simply clears the way for the queen. However, you can also move a pawn from the king, so the path will be completely directed towards the enemy king.

What should I do if the opponent makes counter moves with pawns that block my pawns? (the game is played by white pieces)
If you moved a pawn from d2 to d4, and you were answered with a pawn from d7 to d5, then connect a pawn from the king (or vice versa, if you first moved a pawn from the king). If you are playing for white pieces and a picture appears that you have occupied the squares d4 and e4 with your pawns, and your opponent has occupied d5 and e5, then do not spread your pawns further - clear your way for one of the pawns. For example, if you want to advance a pawn from the queen, then blow up a pawn on the d5 field with your pawn from the e4 field.

Why, when the center is completely captured and blocked, can't pawns from c2 and f2 be connected to c4 and f4 in order to clear the center for both of my two pawns on d4 and e4? (the game is played by white pieces)
Because throwing pawns at atomic is a bad idea. If pieces like knight, bishop and queen join the battle, especially at the beginning of the game, then we most often block their movement with our pawns. Of course, we have other pieces besides pawns, but the absence of a large number of pawns most often leads to a great threat to your king from the enemy queen. So, yes, we should leave the pawns on c2 and f2 in their places.

How to respond to White's initial move as a pawn from the king or queen to the center of the board if playing for black pieces
I wrote in previous posts that playing atomic black usually means not attacking and brawling, but obeying and defending if it's about the beginning of the game and inexperienced players (I'm really not trying to offend anyone, I'm just talking from experience). But if the white pieces started playing pawns instead of knights? Well, let's block these pawns! Yes, we also move from the king and queen. If the central 4 squares are completely filled with black and white pieces, this is not bad for black pieces, because either the opponent will spend his turn to blow up one of your pawns, and you will immediately be able to get ahead by advancing your pawn, or your opponent will develop other pieces or try to attack you.

What if the enemy pawn has moved close enough to your king
Block it by any means, especially if there are only 1-2 squares left between your king and the enemy pawn. Put any of your pieces under the pawn - the closer the pawn is to your king and turning into a queen, the worse it gets.

Why can't an advanced enemy pawn be blown up?
Because in most such cases, an empty line opens for the enemy queen and he can easily blow up your pawn on d2, or check your king if his channel is open. But if you have a piece that can stand in front of the king with a distance of at least 1 square from him, then you can blow everything up :) Of course, it's better to take care of your safety first, and only then arrange an atomic boom.
