Good starter idea.
However, the problem we see here is that if a player times-out (how most of these games will end), the game considers it an insufficient material draw; The player who times-out won't forfeit, he'll just split the remaining points with the player who doesn't time-out. This means that a player could just jump back and forth in the corner, avoiding play to save up time, then after someone gets a checkmate, could just time-burn his way into a draw for 1st place.
Maybe for improvement, consider making it a 3-player game, with some sort of way to farm points off of a bot, ensuring that the points won't be tied between 2 or 3 players at the end. For now though,
Making it Capture the King will fix that issue. What do you think?
yes capt the king will fix that buuut you will need more time like 2|0 because you don't know if you are moving into check

How will capture the king fix the insufficient material glitch...
cause the game doesn't do the glitch because there is a way to win in capt the king aka bad move into check
OKK unlike other people- I HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED THIS GAME !!!!!
CAPTURE THE KING MAKES IT NOT INSUFFICIENT MATERIAL DRAW!!!
HERE IS THE GAME I PLAYED !!! https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=5448360
IT works blue wins with no draw !!!
the only problem is that it is hard to keep from moving into check and dieing
(aaand that I played worse than a rando)
Can this game be accepted if it is Capture the King and maybe a different time control?
Ok. Sounds good.
