If 19 player chess really invented, it will take more than 10 years to make a 1 game start lmao.

don't agree. if a game of 8 player chess daily fills up in two hours - 1 day, this should take like two days for a daily game to fill up. i guess it would take around 15 min. for live

2) this will literally take an hour to finish a single game

3) 19 players joining the same game will also take a while

Even 8PC takes insane amounts of time.

true, but 19 player chess will take a literal hour

19 is a very odd number that wouldn't work

19 is a prime number. Prime numbers are among the greatest fascinations for mathematicians. They are the foundations on which all other numbers are built. Perhaps their exceptional oddity is precisely what makes them so fascinating.

Yup. I believe this could work if we make the board with non square fields. Possibly different fields, hyperbools, hexagons, etc

2 is also a prime number. Prime number does not mean bad number. We just need a board with nineteen faces.

I know what prime numbers are -_-

ok sorry wiggly but this just seems too much.

We already have 4pc and 8pc, but 19? Why 19? The most random number ever and games would last hours. Seems kinda pointless to me. Sorry if this seems mean.

Okay, so I have posted about a variant where you can see your opponent's pieces but not your own, but what about a 19 player chess game? The rules are the same a regular 4 player chess, but it has 19 players! What do you guys think?

anybody can write such a stupid thing. Show me how is the board supposed to look

Agreed. I can easily come up with five new "ideas".

New variant idea: 59 player chess

New variant idea: 113 player chess

Yk, a chess game of any team size can exist on chess.com. You just need to make a club for each team.

Guess, stop saying it's bad, start thinking about good parts of the game and try improving what you don't like... This can end up in an interesting game!

eh, someone already came up with 8-player chess, and I think that's enough.

Before saying"someone", think with who are you talking.

What about the time frame rule? This might clearly recover the amounts of time a game takes...

Do I really need to be that specific? You already get the point.

It's just a little annoying to look at a list saying someone when you are one of the most involved in the project...
