teams variant

spacebar

btw i've wondered what if your partner could always still intervene, even after what is now checkmate.

it's kinda not ok that green can get mated on a square that is covered by his partner blue.

i think i'm suggesting turning the game into regular chess. black vs white.

would drastically reduce the amount of mating combinations.

I think a great solution would be simply whoever takes a king first, it would solve many of these complications. (teams only, mate is better for free for all)

spacebar

yes would like to try that too

 but i think i prefer to checkmate. i'd like to preserve that a check is forcing, and you must defend. you cant escape by capturing another king or whatever.

guess it doesnt work because what is green to play?? nice try lol

Capturing the king to win should indeed be possible in team mode. I have not seen it happen, but should be possible.

spacebar

yup can happen

I have seen it happen in FFA.

tried to make a teams example. note that if blue play QxN on move five, he still gets mated

 i agree king capture should end the game. probable does.

not sure if i like allowing non-defense of a check.
