Third game

White goes first, then green, then black, and then red. Pieces cannot move onto the black squares. When you checkmate a king you can either take control of the army (beware: if one of the kings is checkmated or if both are attacked in one turn, you are out completely. Also if you do this, you do not recieve double turns.) or if are not a risk taker, you may leave the pieces inert (that means they do nothing). Post your move using algebraic notation. The first post (this one) will have a move list and a picture of the board. Every time I see a new post, I will update the picture of the board and turn it so that the side who's turn it is comes up in front. Make sure you track this topic so that you know when it is your move. As soon as you join the game post something so that I know. The game will begin as soon as we have 4 people ready to go. Have fun!

sorry but I think there's a mistake in the setup of the board--I wasn't sure, so I just looked it up.

 Hmm. You are right. There is a mistake. We will change the board on this game because it only has 2 moves, but the other ones will continue because the spirit of this group and chess variants is trying out new things. The next Chess 4 game will have the correct setup. I already made a new board.

Just in case somebody wants to change their opening move the game is restarting, so it is razorblade12's turn.

OOPS! I just did some more research, and found out that there are many different kinds of 4 way chess variants, some with different set-ups. My apologies! So should we go back to our previous game, or try something new?

If anyone is interested, here are some of the different variants.

No I think this setup new setup is better, because with the old one based on the starting position and line up of the king and queen one player could have a very agressive game, while the other player has a passive defensive game. I don't think this is very fair, so we are going to play with this setup as long as nobody is against it.

can i still play h4? because if i can, i will
