📌 Poll Setup | Four Player Chess 📢

BYG setup should be put back on main menu. Then all setups will be available to choose from .
In Four Player Chess | Setup Options:Â No matter how many available Setup options there are, most players will always play on the default standard. BYG was available for more than 6 months without any success, and the exact same thing happens for BY and old standard.

That is so interesting, I started playing with the standard setup, and have tried the old seetup once, couldn't play it so changed back to standard. Who named it as Omatanix btw? Why does the BY setup has that many votes? does that mean it has more players as well? or is it more enjoyable games?
All setups lead to enjoyable games and none is some sort of quasi-forced win for either team, so the question is what do the actual living players want.

Omatamix is a player who suggested using it. Not sure why BY has so many votes, perhaps a desire for change? BY has a very small player base, but is quite fun, maybe a bit more interesting than new standard. If you're curious about learning old standard I recommend this guide https://www.youtube.com/@VictorianoOchoa/videos
