Hi
As you know, im co-founder from 8 player chess, which has some updates.
1. 8 player sandbox
Bye bye paint, you have been replaced by a drag and drop website which downloads images.
This includes a piece menu for placing more pieces, including fairy ones.
https://www.themidnightdispatch.com/chess
2. Official club
This club is now official
Chess.com staff made it official.
You should see an official checkmark when visiting the club
https://www.chess.com/club/8-player-chess
3. Needed checkmates for teams.
Now, instead of having to mate 2 players in teams, you have to mate 3
4. Future change of piece colors, notation system and namings.
We will soon change some things. We will switch Green-Purple-Orange and change the notation method on player indication to roman numerals, and change gamemode names
FFA - Singles
FFT - Pairs
Teams will remain as teams.
Thank you for reading this and make sure to join just to try a game. You can join an unrated singles game where you wont prejudice anyone else or lose rating.
Try it out, now that its easier with the sandbox!

join or take a look
Currently, we use a forum correspondence method with image editing.
BUT, there is being developing a system by @ollie_g that allows drag-and-drop and creates the final image (available in a few weeks) and a complete app by me (featuring collective board, game chat and team chat, personal account, a categorized forum, etc.)
We DO have a rating system created by me
So, why to doubt? join now 8 player chess!

I’m kinda surprised NO1s else has thought of this b4! But anyway, here it is:

Simple! When pieces capture a piece, it gains the powers of the piece it captures.

every move the board mirrors. for example: white plays e4 black plays e5 and then the board mirrors, it would look like this:
em passant does not apply. you can still promote.
