A thought has crossed my mind just now.

Understanding of this comment requires understanding of the concept of Basque chess : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chess (just ctrl+F Basque chess)

I was thinking about making the pairs in regular Basque chess change to triplets or more. Here is what I'm thinking in terms of triplets :

P1 plays white against P2

P2 plays white againt P3

P3 plays white agains P1

for n-tuplets the thing goes like this

P1 plays white against P2

P2 plays white against P3

P3 plays white against P4

...

Pn-1 plays white against Pn

Pn plays white against P1

 This may be useful in Swiss tournaments where there are a non-prime odd number of players :)!

Any thoughts?
