Why I have a dislike for all variants of FFA Four Player Chess

If you're up for it and don't mind a potential time sink, go ahead and give it a whirl.

Personally, I'm not a fan of FFA Four Player Chess. It tends to invite shady behavior, and there's not much recourse when things go down.

In these games, players might team up without explicitly saying so, making it feel pretty unfair and hostile. Being the one singled out is no picnic, let me tell you.

It's frustrating and throws off the whole balance and objectivity in chess. But hey, if that's your thing, knock yourself out.

That said, Teams, team-based Four Player Chess is a whole different ballgame. It brings a fresh dynamic and could be a lot more enjoyable and fair.

Yes, you guessed it right: I believe I've blocked more dishonest chess players in these FFA variants than in any other.
