[4PC Variant]: Custom Starting Position

also, why include the amazon in the promotion options?

try to find pieces of at least somewhat similar strength. Camels are quite weak for example.

btw i did put a 2player fairy on the list feel free to suggest changes to it, or new ones

Hello,

I wrote this post a few weeks above for my position, and would like this to be a 4PC variant.

lol why u hit urself

Hi, i can play rated this game:

https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=3081394

it is a game where 2 players try to escape from the zombies, get points if possible and try to survive

rules:

1. 15 check
2. Custom pos
3. 2 player chess
4. no promotion 

in the chat I want them to put: created by alejose2007

nice. i also think of setups where you have to get your king to the center but there is a labyrinth and zombies. pacman style.  haven't gotten around it yet.

maybe better without the walls?

Now many N does it take to checkmate a lone N?  2 are enough to cover the hill.

I feel like we need new custom game admins. I don't have time, and I-I_I-I's time will be limited the next months, and reexamine hasn't been active either, leaving nobody.

Who is interested? Preferably active and respected forum contributors who of course love custom games.

Thanks for your information

I'm interested, provided that the programming needed isn't up over my head.

Just who I was hoping for

Thank's!

I added General War as a rated variant for both FFA games, and team games.  I set it up the FFA form of General War to be +40 points, and the teams form to be General War (T).

I also set it up so that for the King of the Jungle position, the rules regarding Dead Wall, Antichess, and Capture the King can't be changed while keeping the game rated.

'kingSquares' has been replaced by 'royal'?
