This got some discussion in here, so I thought I'd break it out and give it it's own thread. Basically, we were talking about another variant that uses the four-player version as the starting point but then adds some random events to drive everyone crazy. Probably not worth having ratings for it, as there would be a lot of randomness, like playing MarioKart on frantic settings. 1. Play until your king is captured or otherwise killed, ignoring check and checkmate. 2. After a random number of moves (3-6), a nuclear missile explodes on a random square. Any piece on that square is killed, and the square is irradiated for the next three turns; no pieces can move there or pass through. If it hits your king, tough luck, you're dead. Then the timer is reset to repeat this after another 3-6 moves. 3. At the start of the game, 4-6 random squares have hidden land mines placed on them. If a piece stops on a land mine, it is killed, and a new land mine is placed on a new random square. 4. If you get a pawn to the eight rank, you are not required to promote it. You can keep pushing it if you want. If you get a pawn all the way across the board, you can promote it to a second king so that you can survive the death of your first king. 5. A computer-controlled knight is placed in the middle of the board at the start of the game. After the fourth person's turn, it moves randomly. This knight cannot be captured or killed, and can survive nuclear missiles. It can jump off the board, and if it does, it is replaced back on an empty square near the middle of the board. (Note: see #9 as an alternative to this rule) 6. There are hidden clocks placed on several random squares. If one of your pieces stops on one of these, you get ten seconds added to your clock, and a new hidden clock is placed on another random square. There is no guarantee that a clock and a land mine cannot be on the same square. 7. When your king is killed, you get to fire a single nuclear missile at any square you choose; you cannot target an opponent's king. 8. At random intervals, a random piece of a random colour is changed to a random piece of a random colour. So a red bishop might turn into a green pawn. If this takes your king, too bad, you lose. If this gives you an extra king, you've got insurance against losing one of them. 9. (from @BabYagun, an alternative to #5) We should have a huge boss king in the middle of the board taking 4 squares (2x2). Every 10 moves the boss king jumps to some random place and crushes all the pieces below. It can be killed, but it has 5 lives. 9.a. (from @Skeftomilos) To allow you to influence the movement of the boss king, he should be attracted to queens (thus you put your queen near someone else's army to encourage him to move that direction), or repulsed by queens (you put your queen near him to chase him away), or his moves should be determined by a vote of all four members. 10. Anything else we can come up with.

Recently in a ffa 4pc game I was red and my friend was green, https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/47424341 it felt weird checkmating my friend but if i didn't then that would be biased.. any way just wanted peoples opinion on this topic thanks.

Basically the server thought that the king was resigning ever zombie move it made, and the sound affect too. https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/47030084/85/1

I thought it would be fun to have a set of rules causing alliances to arise during the course of the game. This is my proposal:We introduce two white Flags and two black Flags. The colour of a Flag is important, but not related to the colour of any army. Any army can capture any Flag. A Flag has no own movement. Stones are dead objects that must be captured as they are initially blocking access to the Flags. If one player manages to capture a second Flag, that player immediately wins the entire game, provided that he or she has no King left in check. (As a consequence, each player will probably try to capture at least one Flag. Or we could alternatively assign a huge amount of points to capturing a Flag.) If a player captures a Flag, that Flag must be placed on that player's side of the board, so it's colour remains clearly visible to all players. If two players - say player A and B - have captured a Flag of the same colour, than from that moment their armies are immune to each other. Their pieces can no longer capture each other or give check to each other's King. This condition remains until all remaining players are out of the game, or until the game ends in another way. So this way, players become allies, and can only start battling ech other after slaughtering all other armies first. (But a player who is bound to an alliance, can still trick his ally and take the win by capturing a second Flag.)Long-term strategy or immediate tactics could make a particular player prefer a particular other player to team up with.

Game of Points only apply to Two Players not four player... why?? Am I missing something here?

This is a new development that I think is a real pain in the neck. There have been discussions of illicit teaming, where people use the chat to agree to team up, which is understandably against the rules. But recently, if player A sees that player B has done something that benefits player C, because player B had to make a choice between inconveniencing A or C, player A accuses B and C of teaming.  It has to be up to the player him/herself to choose who they want to attack. Many factors can be involved. Maybe player A has more points, and is more of a threat. Maybe player A has been annoying in chat. Whatever, as long as there is no agreement to team, then in my opinion it is not teaming. This whining about teaming when there is in fact no cheating taking place is provocative and distracting. Can we agree to stop it?

planning games gambets and more just do plans text it try it like ez

I wonder who is down to play my brand new creation of 4PC. Its Capture the King with Fairy pieces. Amazon cant be promoted, there is only one for each. All pawns promote to Wildebeest, Chancellor, QUeen or Archbishop. In the FFA mode, it is: Capture the King, Takeover (Gain of all main remaining pieces of the captured King) and Crazy House (Turning captured pieces into your own), Diplomacy and Spectator Chat with 2 min, 15s incremental (Pic is misleading). King is only worth 3 points, but you get his main pieces. And in Teammode, you can partner with yourself or someone else. THe Blue and Green Kings are irrelevant. Its only the Red and yellow that matters. So Red and Green Vs Blue and yellow with no spectator chat and 3 Minutes, 15 seconds incremental (Pic is misleading again). All pawns promote to Wildebeest, Chancellor, QUeen or Archbishop. Im always gonna play this on sundays between 4:30-06:00pm UTC (so 12:30-2:00pm EDT (New York time) and 06:30-08:00pm CEST (Middle Europe) time). Sometimes 3 hours later again, so beginning 07:30-0900pm UTC. And Wednesday 10:30pm-12:00am(Thursday) UTC. New york time: (06:30-08:00pm) and (Middle European Time: Thursday (00:30-02:00am) Cheers

I made a position where Red always wins (as an joke), and when I played it with my friend, IT ACTUALLY GAVE ME RATING Can you please refund the rating back to my friend? https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/45371536/1/1 Note: The 2nd time I played it, it was casual. Also can you please fix this glitch?

Have the best 2048 people play the game live you can even have qualifiers per region it would be a great idea to really promote the game have the worlds best brightest come together for 1 event

Ok, here we go. Many inside jokes.

PLANING IDEAS AND USEING OUR IDEAS IN GAMES SO WE COULD SEE HOW MANY LOSES AND WINS SO WE COULD USE IT IN ANY CHESS GAME LIKE 4 PLAYER CHESS AND BASIC.
