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.

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.

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:

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?
