The World 4-Way chess Championship is starting soon. The competition is pretty weak so far, so dont miss your chance to take the prize!
'Trust and doubt' situations in this game can be very interesting. When playing with amatuers I often say, 'never trust your partner to protect your pieces'. Generally I will avoid risky assaults that are dependent on my partner's help, I have lost too many men that way. On the other hand, if your partner is a very good chess player then the co-operative double attacks are what make this game so much fun.
the game courier is working perfectly for me, flawless. Thanks fergie!!!
Does anyone want to play a game of 4-Way Chess with four players? Partner's sit accross from each other and all the rules of regular chess apply. Email me at taurusgaming@AOL.com if you're interested and we can arrange a game when we get 4 players interested. You can be partner's with a friend here if you know someone.
WOW!! this ratings page is super cool! Now I see why people are playing more games, they're working on their ratings. Thank You Fergus

can someone please make a preset for Capablanca's Chess using the easily identifiable pieces used in Aberg's variation of Capablanca's Chess, thank you
cool looking game, how does the cannon move? Hey Namik, what is your current email address? I've been trying to reach you by email and haven't gotten a reply, email me at taurusgaming@AOL.com
GREAT!! thanks for the pre-set, i put up an open invite if anyone wants to play. can one of the editors add this pre-set to the top of the page for easy access in the future?

This page simply shows the most recent comments on all subjects, what we really need here is a chat room category, should be easy to do, yes!!
good idea, let's start with Capablanca's Chess, I have an open invite in the waiting room if anyone wants to play
yes, but in chess variants the rules are different for every game. Are u talking about USCF Tournament rules? Typically in friendly games people commonly play that if one player only has a king left u must check-mate him in 25 moves or its a draw.
here is a link to see all of the most recent comments made at the game courier,
kinda like a chat room

I have a new rule set similar to yours, although we play 4-Way Chess on the Dessau board. Its called REGICIDE RULES, the king must be actually captured rather than just check-mated. Even when check-mated a player still gets to make a move even if moving into check, and sometimes check-mate can be evaded, it is intense. After a king is killed the rest of his pieces remain on the board and can not move except to capture. See the rules at this link: http://hometown.aol.com/taurusgaming/regicide.html

You know u can play this 4 handed chess on the game courier, one of u guys should go there and challenge me to a game for the World's 4-Way Chess Championship
Casablanca Chess is inferior because the initial set-up allows a fools mate in 2. Gothic chess solves this problem. If u are good at working with computer programming can u help me create a program to play 4-way chess against the computer?
yes, i think it is called Capablancas Chess
Cagilistro's variant is prob close to the one u describe, u can play in the world 4-way chess championship if u want, its open to all players
I have added an Amazon to Capablanca's Game by adding another row to the board. Is there another game like this out there, if so plz let me know. Also is there another common name for the Amazon which combines the move of the queen and knight? here is the new preset: http://play.chessvariants.org/pbm/play.php?game%3DElite+Chess%26settings%3DElite+Chess
