4PC in the " takeover " mode. Talk about fun Oh , yeah !!! If this is already available, how do you access it ?

HOWWWW???

I would seriously like to see " The remaining players split the points " for rated games. Right now it's only allowed in Casual games. This is a bad thing, and you could still have it with " the stalemated player gets the points " if everyone agrees to it beforehand. It would change the strategy a bit , but it wouldn't come up that often, so let's have a choice, please. Double

Why is there a duck in the walls section on 4pc editor?

Hi everyone, We are currently running a poll to determine the best time for the league games to be regularly scheduled at for when our inaugural season 1 starts. If you are planning on participating please read the poll instructions and vote to let us know what times are best for you. https://strawpoll.com/polls/6QnM7a8v3Ze Thanks, Jai

Here it is. The absolute end of the story. Pre arranged teams are illegal. Everyone recognises that fact. Opposites, is pre arranged teams. You go into the game BEFOREHAND knowing you will TEAM with the player opposite you. PRE arranged. The partnership is made BEFORE the game starts. It is PRE arranged. And since Pre arranged TEAMS are ILLEGAL, so are OPPOSITES, because they are PRE ARRANGED !!! Poor admins, looks like they have to DO THEIR JOB now instead of just ignoring everything and saying, " it's just opposites, now go away and leave us alone "

Checkmate ferz with queen: get ferz in corner then move queen next to ferz so ferz can’t take

Wouldn’t let me edit position. I can only play one that are already there,In my templates or one I spectated.

First of all don't listen to the title, is just a joke, we can't let radon be #1 so easily! The point of this post is complaining about the lag, but to not make it so boring i will touch another subjects like rating system, starting positions and at the end i will analyze a little bit game 8 of the FFA/Solo w4pcc 2022. https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/28684822/271/1 At the beginning Justin flags, not due to the server this time, but he always does. Later i get disconnected and it turns out that im not the only one, what a surprise! 3 players disconnecting at the same time, and the only reason because yellow won it was because it wasn't his turn. I love the game and i think i spent more time in 4pc than in regular chess since i started playing in 2020. Is really heartbreaking to not find high rated queues in FFA, im forced to play with players with a rating difference of 700+ points, and thanks to the horrendous solo scoring system i cant play what i want, i have to be overcautiously and boring because these players can suicide or do something dumb anytime. Like i said the only reason because im not quitting 4pc is because i enjoy it, most of the times. But in the very rare case that lichess adds 4pc, you know where to find me. About the setups i find relatively obvious the public opinion and I agree, omatamix is boring, bring back the old setup (which is amazingly hided right now) The w4pcc was won by Icystun in 8 games, it was a cool match in general but not the most exciting one in terms of quality play. Still game #3 was extremely chaotic and fun, that may deserve a single post for himself if i am bored enough. Game #8 contains a lot of cuestionable decisions and savage moves Scores: jbolea 2, icystun 2, vrdtmr 2, rojitto 1. First to 2.25 wins Game starts quietly with a queen trade between yellow and green, and i decide to play Nm9 which is not the best move but i was playing in a similar way during the semis and finals. The main point was of course showing the other players that im green a) Red to play. b) Green to play. Here i made one of the worst moves i ever played. Qxe8?? allowing Qe7 yellow promotes and my queen is gone. This is very simple, in these kind of endgames the king and queen need to remain very close. I had a clear advantage moves ago, after making some bad moves i felt pretty useless and i took the pawn so careless. After taking if i manage to play Qk7 blocking the yellow pawn the game is very close to winning, i didnt miss the secuence that happened in the game but i thought it wasnt too bad due to my point lead. I totally forgot about the triple checks, giving yellow really good chances to catch up on points. Red got stalemated later, very good for me because i dont have a queen to steal some checkmate, and the triple check option disappears. c) Yellow to move and win. I was very mad at blue for not forcing a draw when yellow gave up the checks, still i shouldn't put myself in this situation, where my only chance to win is by stalemate. I realized after the game, after yellow got me on points, i volunteerely could offer double checks to blue so he passes yellow, Icy is the player with the most chances of stalemating me due to move order, an also because he is the best player he will find the idea to not give the game to blue and force a 9th game. I hope the post was enjoyable, i could do it in spanish but y'all too lazy.

Main menu selection (at least on the transparent version) My 2 new suggestions:

(Note the names in the second game and the filter set) AHHHHHHHH THE SACRILEGE IT COUNTS OMA AS OLD STANDARD AND WORSE IT STILL SAYS OMA IS STANDARD NOT EVIL STANDARD

https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/28653015 a game with me and max it was super fun and we basically bongclouded in teams!! the other players also did this and made the game super fun was hella fun

It seems it fell out of favor, or maybe not enough people are playing it anymore, but I remember we had the hyperfiesta tournaments that really made it fun to play chaturaji. The purpose of this topic is to ask where it is now, and if it can be brought back.

Loving Semi Anonymous especially in Giveaway.Now able to play anonymously as to who is who but still be able to communicate with new players to tell them capturing is compulsory so less early time outs.

As you can see, most of my material got taken early on. I'm not really sure why red started attacking me right off the bat, but it caused me to get 4th due to bg joining in as well.
