what if blue and yellow work together to check red with their queens, but its not teams?

Worst-Move-Maker

yeah

Worst-Move-Maker

so in teams, you know when partners use their queens to defeat other colors? what if they did the same but its not teams

That happens sometimes in FFA, it's only illegal if it was prearranged. Sometimes it's even a strategical play especially when opposites do it, see https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/but-is-it-teaming

I thought it was a draw because if red takes my queen, the other guy takes red and if red takes the other guy's queen, I win

Then red will have to be able to escape both checks and checkmated if it can't

This can happen without prearranged teaming

Worst-Move-Maker

ok

A common idea to when a game occurs where let's say red checks and only has one square remaining you good block that square and get 20 points so checking many times way be a worse idea.

Red has to either counter both of the checks at the same time or Red is out by mate

Probably whoever goes first after red or they both mate and the points get split evenly

Whoever goes second is how it works. Play some 4-player chess and if you don't, don't act like you know everything. When a king has x amount of squares remaining. If you can make x to 0 on your move and there is not way to block the check created. (either it may be impossible to block or double-check. It would considered your 20 points

that's why I said probably because I don't know for sure

its a specific situation that doesn't happen 24/7

ive played 4 player chess before its just I haven't played it in a while

no need to be mean ARJUN

Arjun1516

I am not being mean TESLANTATOR and this situation happens in more than 2/3 of my games. Just because you are spreading misinformation to others and it hurts your feelings when I state the truth that your wrong doesn't mean I shouldn't. If you haven't played in a while then don't answer the question. Don't just make guesses and hope you're right. Become right! Your last FFA game was 3 years ago. Is that a while?

the second one makes more sense

What if blue, yellow, and green check red?

Arjun1516

Then red will not be able block similar to double check while so they must move out of check if possible.
