The Forgotten Feature - Variants on Chess.com - Chess.com Hi everyone - with the merge of Variants and 4 Player Chess having been 1.5 years ago, and still not a lot of change, I decided to make an article detailing the event and some of the things that preceded it. My hope is that eventually it can reach the chess.com staff, but hopefully it can get to a wider audience than just ~100 people before it does so, so that awareness can be spread on the issues that I discuss. If you could give it a read (should only take around 10-15 minutes), that would be great. You might also learn some new things too...
https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/51453382/363/3 I am not sure if this ever happened before with anyone but I just completed a new achievement of mating with king.

4 players fight fiercely and most of the pieces die. They need extra reinforcements outside but it was very difficult to enter the battlefield. Who can put their pieces in and win?

playing dirty is popular on FFA, I've blocked so many but there is always more and more (and you get them on anon). aren't you guys strong enough to win playing with ethics? some just find it entertaining to play dirty. you find reasons to justify dirty game, some I can understand, but the result of the dirty game turns away strong non-dirty players, and brings on a bad reputation for this game that we love so much. If you are a winner, as any gamer should be, you only play your best to get the win, changing the elo made stuff worse, some play not to lose or even to make their opposite loss. and some even find it funny. you see so many "jajaja" people are enjoying seeing you hopeless... When high rated plays with lower-rated in a non-anon mode, it ends-up often as 3 v 1, this is dirty and it turns away strong players. play them on anon and you get to play with those you blocked (you don't want to play with them because they are dirty that is why you block them from the first place) Playing only to effect the winner, not to try to get the 1st (usually by attacking the one you dislike or helping your friend) is dirty, playing passive while the sides kill your opposite is dirty, "forcing" your opposite to give mate and then taking his q and go on to winning the game is dirty, I can go on and on guys, I dont think that if you were actually coming to my living room as friends that meet and play, you would play dirty like that, otherwise, I would never invite you again to my home right? well if we are playing together you are inside my life, and I still dont want to play with unfair dirty players. I'm a team player, a year ago I tried playing FFA for a while, it ended up me writing a subject like this one here and going back to team mode, now I tried to play again some FFA (got in top 10 both in solo and ffa) and again I have to say goodbye, like me, strong players will not play this mode and that's a shame. I will check back in a year to see if ffa, which is a new game that is being shaped like a baby now, is more of a pleasant community of chess players. All the best to all

I just played a game where me and another person both tied for second, and I lost rating but the other person gained, in all honesty, if it's a tie at least make it so both gain rating or both lose, if it's a tie one shouldn't lose that. Fix that, no context for that to happen

I have a variant but I can't set it in the "custom rules" so I posted it here for developers to code it P/S: This photo is for illustrative purposes only and cannot be actual!

If you want to flag/mark games of interest (whether your own games or other players') and look at them at some point later, what should you do? Is there a way to save/mark/flag games for yourself? Something like a "Favorite" button of some sort would be great but I'm looking for any other way available here, really. I think there used to be a way to generate at least game IDs and maybe that way games are later searchable but not sure it's still available.

So a few days in a row I tried to join a 6 second ffa game. It always says that someone else on my wifi is already in the queue, but I know for sure that no one is. I also know that the only people in the queue was someone in a different country. It is only ever with 6 second ffa. Joshuapro said it did the same with him and GS.
A participant has launched a thread about that, but I couldn't reply as he blocked me visibly. So: do the Admins intend to organise a Bullet championship soon? I tried to reply: Yes, a 1 1 would be very interesting to do, or 2 0 otherwise. (1 min. 0, sincerely not, at least for me, as it's actually Hyper IMHO). (the difference for me: in Bullet you can really play - think, analyse -, whereas in Hyper it's mainly reflexes, risky premoves, dirty flagging techniques... I mean, in Bullet one seldom sees nonsense moves that in a normal Rapid one would never make, whereas in Hyper it's just common).
