https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/96299323/73/1 Move 23 red I open a line of attack with the bishop on the already in check blue king. I've taken away blue's only king move. Blue's only option is pawn takes queen, or queen takes queen. Blue resigns. Now only the zombie king remains and it can't move because of my bishop. GREEN GETS 20 POINTS FOR MATE!?What's the justification for green getting mate when it wasn't the last to move.I'd like a point refund please.

I don't understand why there was an insufficient material thing in the end Good thing is I got 10 pts because of that https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/95789415/184/1

if you don't like people trying for the second place, just play solo mode. and then what's the point of using different points proportions depending on the average ELO of the game? a part from protecting high rated player to risk too many points in case of 4th or 3rd place

Typically in chess, the checkmate rule is explained as a early resignation because you are about to be mated one way or another. In bullet over the board chess, the game is even played with the 'take the king rule' when your opponent makes an illegal move that would allow you to do so. It gets fuzzier in 4 player chess, and it can be confusing to new players about who gets the credit for a mate when another player is the one doing the mating. Clearly there is some debate here https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/king-capture-instead-of-checkmate-rules-discussion. Still, assuming that you will always capture a king when you can, there is still some argument to be made. Plus stalemate is funny. But in teams, not only is it more confusing, but it is 'wrong' in that the checkmate rule is not the same as the checkmate rule. https://imgur.com/fEUUlwE For example, here blue can capture the yellow pawn and win immediately. But if yellow had a move, they could moved their king down towards the blue queen, and after green does some move, red can capture the blue queen with their rook, so yellow will be saved. The whole logic gets even more confusing with the rule that you only get checkmated when it's your turn to move - so positions that look like checkmate may not be, and your teammate can save you. But as the position above shows, it's only some of the time... considering how many mate threats happen in 2v2, it would be nice to be able to calculate them with a bit more ease. Well, here is a puzzle that only works with the current ruleset. Using the fact that the game isn't played to king capture, there's a way to get a mate very quickly. https://imgur.com/RZvygUz Edit: Seems my images were removed when trying to post them.

Green to move

Can you change the movement of pawns? If so how?

A few months ago I launched a website for a chess variant I made. Given that I made the game capable of going up to 8 players in a single game(with the appropriate board size), I figured that you four player chess players could get a kick out of the idea! I called the variant Siege Chess, and host it at https://siegechess.net. Keep in mind the site is not yet mobile friendly, so use horizontal view if you are on mobile. The site has some basic features for creating, joining games, and challenging other users. It supports a maximum of up to 8 players, and allows the users to customize the size of the board and apply some custom settings. To briefly describe how the game works, it begins when the host of a gameroom clicks on "Start Game":1) Players take turn placing their fortress. 2) Players take turns placing their king.3) Players are given some gold to purchase their starting army. Other players will not be visible during this step. They will click 'Ready' once they have selected their army and are ready to begin.4) When all players are ready, the game will officially begin. At the start of a players turn, they will get one gold. The player can choose to move, capture, or spawn pieces. There are two ways to put a user in check. Either attack the king like you would in ordinary chess, or attack the stationary fortress with three pieces. If either condition cannot be resolved, then it is checkmate. If a player is in check, they cannot spawn pieces. If the fortress is attacked by any number of pieces ("siege"), the user does not earn gold. I've had a lot of fun playing the variant with the people I have shown it too, and want to grow the playerbase a little bit. I hope you guys enjoy the variant! These are some screenshots that I took to show off the game:

How to beat Magnes 

Theres nothing

Hey yall, No one plays 4pc in case you haven't noticed.  People need motivation to play.  There are three primary motivators: money, fame, and power.  4pc has no money, so that's off the table, and playing 4pc doesn't result in gaining power either, so all we have left is fame.   All you need to do is have there be seasons of 4pc.  What I mean is every few months or so everyone's rating resets as well as the leaderboards.  Players will be required to play a certain number of games to see their name on the leaderboard or get a world rank.  Right now 3500 seems insurmountable, but reset the rating every once in a while, and all sorts of new players and old players will want to try to get their name towards the top.  Ratings mean nothing in 4pc, why not utilize them to motivate people to play?   If we care about 4pc then we should try new things.  It's that simple. Thanks for reading

my best part is middle game
