Custom Rules for 4 Player Chess Stalemate Change Request

Sort:
DoubleSpeedRocks

I would seriously like to see " The remaining players split the points " for rated games. Right now it's only allowed in Casual games. This is a bad thing, and you could still have it with " the stalemated player gets the points " if everyone agrees to it beforehand. It would change the strategy a bit , but it wouldn't come up that often, so let's have a choice, please.

It’s a shame that a lot of gamerules no longer count as standard (such as +40 mate), would 100% support ideas like these

But the way it is now makes people resign less. You might have no real shot to win, but you have one option left, stalemate yourself. It's not easy especially in higher rated games when your opponents know the rules. But it might keep someone in the game. People quitting makes the game less fun. Anything to keep people from quitting is probably a good thing. 

It's fine as an option though.

This is what all of our topics should look like. All of us exchanging ideas about something that could help the game. I'm willing to stop the hostilities, but it can't be unilateral. Everyone has to agree to it simultaneously and without conditions or it's useless..

I agree. I think many, many more of the discussions would be like this if you stopped accusing people of cheating.

It's a good thing you stuck that emoji in there, I might have thought you were serious.
