3 Players Chess

Sound cool!

I've played 3-handed chess before.  We played until the king is captured, ignoring check and checkmate.  And we also played so that when you capture someone's king, you gain control of their pieces.

Usually what happens is trading down, maintaining a roughly even 3-way balance of power, until you get to an endgame; in the endgame, someone usually ends up having a pawn that can't be stopped.

We didn't need a points system, we played last man standing; I think that works better in 3-way than 4-way, since in 3-way, if you weaken yourself with a trade, the second-weakest player needs your help against the top dog, so you don't get eliminated, whereas in four-player, if you weaken yourself, you only need three people to maintain a balance of power, so whoever gets weakened first can be safely eliminated.

Here is an online site for it:

Jslasher I suggest you Don't advertise other chess sites.

Actually I believe thats an Internet Store for to buy such products among other, and persay one able to play this game you would need to create an account first, though someone else who's willing to but I think its only to buy on their site really.

you sure you cant play 3 player chess on that site as well?

It's still advertising another chess site.
