Block the way for the royal king with your king.

NCP - The Kingdom of Knights Rules:7-check, Fairy pieces, No promotion. Description: By Johnny_Fang. Timing: 45 seconds + 4 seconds increment. Please make the walls transparent. Games: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 This game is about defending and attacking. First, you need to build a fortress (a defense), and then start attacking. Focus on one player, and some people might throw pieces, so watch out for those. Here are some examples of defenses: Hawks and generals are the best pieces, so don't sacrifice them, do it when needed. If you're running out of checks (where normally there's not a lot of pieces), you can put your "royal general" in the center if there are no generals on the board (except other royal generals). If one of your opponents tries to do this, try to take all his pieces so he'll be forced to get out of there. If you get teamed up, you'll have enough strong defense. But if you get teamed up when someone is already dead, build an even stronger defense by building it in the corner. If you are getting teamed up in this case where you are not in the middle of the 2 other players: Take the pieces that are on the spot where the dead pieces of the guy that's dead and put your pieces there (in the image, try to take the red hawk and general, and put your pieces there) Then they get teamed on another person because of that maneuver. Hope it gets accepted!

NCP - The Battle of Death Rules: 3 point checkmate, Capture the king, no zombies, Fairy pieces, No promotion. Timing: 15 seconds (hyper-bullet) Description: By Johnny_Fang. Please make the walls transparent. Games: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Hope it gets accepted!

I know that a Patzer zombie plays the worst computer move, the Rando plays random moves, and the Comfuter is a beatable 4pc computer. But what do the rest of the zombies (ranter, pusher, checker, muncher, etc.) do?

Added a pawn to increase rook-pawn battles. Added queen and rook promo to make it more interesting. It also gives the pawns a slightly bigger advantage. https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=8323011-0 https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=8365758-0 https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=8365840-0 https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=8365938-0 https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=8366052-0 https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=8366970-0 https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=8367133-0 Pro game: https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=8367396-0 I made a few early changes that I did not explain. I was waffling back and forth on how many captures should be available from move 1. I made this game to bring newness to FFA anti. This game centers around the rook/pawn showdown in the back. You either want to hang your rooks on opponents pawns, forcing them to promote to a ranged piece that you can then use to eat your pieces. The defensive option is to move your pawns past (Starting rank is 12) so your opponent cannot hang their pieces on you. For this to be feasible, there have to be captures on move 1, or else r and y would perpetually hang on b and g and it would be unfair. Thus move 1 captures is the other idea being used in here. It's the hardest part to get right -- too many, and the game is basically a WOF, too few and it's pointless. Optional info text: FFA Antichess is not luck. One move is almost always greater than another.

Short description: You can choose either to defeat all three enemies (FFA) or defeat two enemies and play with one ally (Teams). You have to defeat players, collect points(FFA) and go to the hill (It’s possible. 9 Games, 30%). There’s also a secret way, where you can surprisingly defeat one player if he doesn’t defend. Promote to General if you want to control the centre. Promote to Wildebeest if you want to make far attacks. Promote to Hawk if you want to quickly go from one place to another. Promote to Elephant if you want to checkmate a player.

Suggested time control: I really don't care about this, let's say 5|0 Description: Villagers chess is a conceptual degraded version of Fide chess intended to be fun and easy. It's construction is based on the method of replacing every piece of fide by one of immediate less value. Though I bypassed the fact that a ferz values less than a knight and more than a general, the game resulted catching and people likes it. _Games played: vs Redrubic vs trapazza vs tihon24082012 vs maribelquispeadauto vs quintolater vs thegodhandss vs gani030809 vs redsky333 vs mohamed3251 vs quintolater Total timespan 9 days. 2-Player Game,Play-for-Mate,Custom Position, Fairy Pieces, Pawns promoto to a Rook, Bishop, Knight, King on the 11th rank Notes: The game has a limited strategy but can be really hard, because of the weakness of the pieces every error is valuated much more. The Chief (royal pawn) can be checkmated by a single rook in less than 4 moves if not prevented, otherwise It could last as long as the opponent can stand. The game could be even more amusing if the engine enabled the chief to castle with the bishop. A blunder that I made configuring this position was the transposition of the chief and the rook because I'm dislexic and 4pc also is. A doubt I have do I hace to win my own games in order to be rated? I hope not...

Time Control: 3|7 Pawns promote to Grasshopper, Wildebeest, Knight-Rider, Camel-Rider, or Hawk on the 8th rank. Tip: Keep your royal (Alibaba) safe. (see game 2) Changes: Added more pawns (so that you had to stop easy promotion (to stop the turtling)), gave more space (more room to attack), got rid of one Amazon (tried to get rid of piece spam and force you to protect your amazon as you will only ever have one!), as and relocated the other (to provide some protection to the Royal Piece), changed king to Alibaba (harder to escape checks, hopefully helps get rid of turtling possibility's), more checks (a little less safety for Royal Piece, tried to keep the game going longer), longer time control (needed more thinking time), got rid of some pieces (to get rid of piece spam), rearranged other pieces (wanted more space to attack on the outside of the X), got rid of the excess of promotion options (to fix what @TheChessDude991 had said about the excess of promotion options), added dead pieces around the Royal Piece (to make it easier for the Grasshopper to give checks) and in the center (to limit the mobility of the Riders). PLEASE MAKE WALLS TRANSPARENT!

How you choose variant of the week?

ℬattle of the ℂastles II Rules: KotH, Fairy pieces, 4 Check, pawns promote to a general, grasshopper, knight-rider, or an elephant on the 3rd rank (Optional: Spectator chat). Differences to last time: changed the middle knight into a knight-rider, added 4 walls, fewer promotion options, added 2 queens for everyone, and I added 4 dead knights in the middle. Timing: 1 minute + 3 seconds increment (1|3). Description: By Johnny_Fang. If it gets accepted, please make the walls transparent. Game type: FFA. Game #1 Game #2 Game #3 Game #4 Game #5 Try to control the center and try to KotH when the board is clear. If your opponents try to KotH at the beginning of the game (when he moves his "royal general"), promote to a general and defend the center. Promoting in a bunch of generals is a good technique, but you sometimes need other pieces (for example promoting into a grasshopper to take your opponent's pieces easier). Queens are used when all your pawns and promoted pawns are taken. Don't take out your queens very early in the game, because they are 9 points, and so that your opponents get more points. Your hawk is the best piece, so don't sacrifice it except if you need to. Hope it gets accepted!
