If 2 or even 3 players take part in a mate on a single player, instead of giving 1 player all 20 points, split the points between the 2 mating players. ( or 3 @ 7+7+7 ) A backrank mate involving rooks of 2 different colours ( or queens ) covering the backrank and the 2d rank would be split 10 points each. Additional points for captures would remain the same. An open field checkmate would likewise be split, 2 players involved, 10 points each. If a capture is involved, those points would remain the same. And if 3 players were involved, 7+7+7. I'm kind of proud of myself for this one, so excuse me if I think it's a really good idea.

I said to people that 1/10-1D should be hyperbullet but they disagree but also they implied that 1/2-0 should be hyperbullet. If not, we need more time controls for hyperbullet

I drew arrows around in circle and symbol came out

I hope one day the changes to the main position are reversed, so 4 PC can be great again! https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/33350463

Unfortunately the combo in the game doesn't exactly work, so I had to edit the position by moving the pawn on g13 to f12.

I am intermediate, and I have quite some experience in 4PC, both FFA and Teams. However, I have never ever played a high level game before (2400+ games). Both of my FFA and Teams ratings are around 2000. I have a lot to learn and I hope to be able to play in the W4PCC and maybe win a prize I never played for W4PCC, but what seems impossible is actually possible. I am considering asking someone to teach me, I should be online on afternoon weekends, and maybe on weekdays, and if I'm online on weekdays its always after 6 o'clock. Currently, it's the holidays. So I should be online until the end of the holidays. I have a lot to learn. Hopefully I can learn valuable knowledge that will help me win a prize in the W4PCC.

New players, are you tired of always losing against high rated people? I can show you how to get your rating to at least 1650 and maybe 1900. First, ENABLE PREMOVE! THIS IS THE GOLDEN RULE TO WINNING HYPER GAMES. Go to SETTINGS>> Enable Premoves. Second, it is important to get your king safe. That way you don't always have your premoves killed because of checks, which makes your premove an illegal move. A good idea is to fianchetto your bishop, then develop your knight towards the centre, then push your rook pawn where your bishop is fianchettoed, then instead of castling, move your king to where it would be if you castled. Then, you have your rook helping in defending. Then move your rook to defend your bishop. That is just one example of a good defence. Thirdly, you use your other pieces to attack the player with the MOST time. If you attack anyone else, you give him the win. The only exception to the rule is when that player is down a huge amount of material, maybe just 2 or 3 pieces left, and a bunch of pawns. Do not attack that player, even if he has the most time. To attack, you either use tricks to win material, or give checks/kill premoves to make him lose on time. Fourthly, do NOT target one single player for the whole game. You will have your premoves killed, he will target you back, and you will lose and he will lose. He will call you an idiot and other names, for giving the other players the free win. If that player had the most time when you started attacking him, and he doesn't have the most time anymore, attack the player who now has the most time. If you have the most time, be prepared. You will be attacked. Fifthly, when its at the 2 player stage, THROW on the other player, to make him lose time. If you can claim win, great! Do it. Or even flag. That is the same as claiming win. Throwing on the other player, spamming checks and killing premoves, and blocking his premoves from checking, makes him lose time so you can flag him easily. Lastly, if someone targets you, target back. Even if he doesn't have the most time anymore. If the other players are not idiots, then they will target each other and you should be fine. Then, you can call that targeter an idiot, but I suggest you don't do it after every game, or you risk being chat-banned. If people 2v1 or 3v1 you, then its really hard to deal. Play fast, and block their checks. If they mate you, then you can't really do anything. Bad luck. Anyways, there's always next game. At that point, you can play for 2nd since 1st is really unachievable by then. Hopefully this guide helps, the old guide has sucked, and Happy Hyperbullet!

why is it saying that someone on my network joined i dont have 2 accounts...

I played a game yesterday https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/32984567/84/1 On move 25, I was probably winning. Soon, I made some terrible moves and if green didn't spare me, I wouldve died. Any tips on how to play these positions?

[Edit: screenshots removed] Admin 4pc pls doing something with this alt account!

After server restarttried to come back but shows this error

The primary purpose of blocking in 4PC is to make sure that idiots don't mess up your game, NOT to make sure that the blocked person can't message you, or post in your forums. If one person blocks another within 4PC it should be a 4PC block, which is different from a regular block.

To make 2nd-4th lose equally and HEAVILY - for example, for 4 people with the same rating, if 1 wins, they win 100 but if the other 3 lose they lose 33.3 each. If it doesn't work, make the loss heavier, for example winner wins 150 while losers lose 50. This will make sure that everyone plays for 1st as the win is HUGE and everyone will want to play for the huge win. If people are still complaining, make the wins bigger and the losses bigger, so that more people will want to win and not lose. Also the losses are HEFTY, so everyone will play for 1st. No more playing to avoid 4th, No more gifting points to an undeserved 2nd, No more playing for 2nd or 3rd!

I would say that it remains this way otherwise people will block pros on purpose so that only noobs will be in the anonymous game, and it makes rating farms easier. Btw I got blocked by the user, come on why! This means I can't post on that thread so I have to create a new thread. We should make blocking not affect posting on the blocking user's thread" The problem is not that a player may not target/throw on you. The point is that I don't want any noobs who're in my blocklist. Say for example this game :- " https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/32899114/82/1 " that dude threw like anything for no reason...and that might be the key reason for him to get into my blocklist at 1st place! And the thing you told later that "rating inflation" and high rated players inflating without getting high competition...that's completely baseless and senseless I get that there are going to be noobs in your blocklist who you don't want in your games. They can be annoying indeed. Maybe make it so that 2 people who are already in the game have to be blocking that specific user for him to not be able to join that anonymous game. That makes sure that its a well-known noob and not 1 player blocking every pro there that no one else has blocked. I get that its getting ridiculous about me responding to another thread in this way, I apologise, I have to do it this way if a person has blocked me. I know that its 3 responses in a row. Sorry admins, but I feel like this thread will become locked/deleted even.

Those are the pieces on each side. Does anyone want to test this out?
