New version of 4 Player Chess

We released a new version of 4 Player Chess (beta) on 07 Aug 2018.

Changes in the game rules:

• Checking three players simultaneously: +20 points.
• A king can now capture resigned kings.
• Resign or timeout in FFA: If a player resigns or times out before having made at least 4 moves, he will lose rating and the game will be aborted.
• Resign or timeout in Teams Mode: If a player resigns or times out on his first move, he will lose rating and the game will be aborted.

New features and improvements:

• Glicko rating system (instead of ELO).
• Colorblind mode. (Red pieces become white. Green become black.)
• Early resign or timeout leads to the game being aborted, and the resigner loses some rating points.
• There can be a draw in Teams Mode games now.
• A pop-up box with player rating and other information.
• Legal move indicators.
• Shift+click any piece to see its legal moves at any moment.
• A button to invite the same teammate again in the Teams Mode. (Rematch with the partner you just played with.)
• Captured pieces are now displayed.
• Shift+click on an empty square to clear only your own arrows.
• Clearing your arrows also clears them from your partner's (and observers') boards.
• Observers can draw (orange) arrows for themselves.
• It is possible to draw arrows after a game.
• Single square arrows are shown as circles.
• An option to hide teammate's arrows.
• An option to hide coordinates.
• A dot in the center of the FFA board to help find the squares where pawns become queens.
• (a dozen or more of minor improvements like new sounds, visual effects, etc.)
