Definitely my new favorite variant (even though I'm bad at it lol), any plans for 2v2?

Yes, there are certainly plans for 2v2. Though those might wait until some improvements we are making to Bughouse, which is where our 2v2 focus is right now. For now, we're trying to figure out how best to NOT get players to play together in 4PC. 
will it be on the cell phone app soon? openings and theory hold no water. it's a new world of chess now, I love it.

Unfortunately our mobile teams are a bit too swamped to take this on now. Lots to add to the app! However, it WILL come to mobile. Glad you're loving it!
I understand, its new and may need some fine tuning, just putting the question out there because I'd love to play a few games during lunch break.

you should definitely put a 3 moves rule so you can claim a draw. if there are two players left they can both gain 20 points, just like stalemate.

What fun, Achievements so far. surprise mate and a steal by promoting a pawn, checkmating all three opponents without losing a single pawn (some of my pawns were Queens) lol Having to mate someone and not lose any material because they will keep their lead and win was great fun too.
I wish the 4 player chess ratings were displayed on a persons profile page alongside the other displayed ratings. This will also potentially advertise 4 player chess whenever folks look at someones profile and see their 4 player rating.
This game is absolutely fantastic just the way it is. I am getting rather addicted to it. Thanks Eric!
There are a few small bugs, but I am not a programmer so unable to help. Even if the bugs remain, we will still keep playing it. You are onto a winning thing here.
I am loving the 4 way chess variant! I've only played about 15 or so matches(maybe).
I am seeing a lot of people resign as soon as they lose their queen, which seems to happen often. Too bad because there is a lot of fun to be had by seeing the game through.

Losing your queen doesn't mean you're dead. You can try to promote a pawn, or you can sit back defensively for a few turns while the other players attack each other and weaken their armies.
Let's play the game.

This is a crazy game! I had a lot of fun and will play again. Would love to see it fully implemented. : )
Every Day I Play this game, I Have a suggestion, Make A Four Way game where people have 2 days to move!!!!!!!!
how to report bugs on the 4 player chess game?
Tonight has been pretty glitchy had 3 aborts because a player couldn't move at all at the very beginning. 2 games where the king could not take an opponents piece. It wasn't because it would have put them in check either.
Also curious about how to handle verbally abusive players? This occured while watching a 4 player chess game in the spectator comments.
