Possibility of a Triple check???

Ok, maybe in regular chess that physically isn't possible. But what about 4 player chess? If, for instance, one player checks the king of the one who play before him, and then the other 2 players check that same king in their turn? And if each of those players gives that king a double check, then it will be not triple but 6 X check! (But I wonder what would be the point of that). Or is it possible that one player gives a check and also reveals a check from his other piece and 2 or more other players' pieces either on the same king or on more than one king, which might include his own king?

Or in 4 player teams, perhaps it might happen that a player of one team checks/double checks one of the opposing kings and also reveals checks from his teammate's pieces on either the same or the other opposing king, then there we go!
I was just going to type that….

Good idea, but we only count standard chess
I would like to share the following idea.
I once read or heard somewhere that a person is in check if the king is attacked by one or two pieces.
This rule would imply that an attack by three pieces leaves no check.
Now I read everywhere that theoretically no triple-check can be given. I get that.
However... you can eliminate a double check with a triple check by moving one of your own pieces!
See the example. white plays knight b6++, black answers with rook e1# !!! (triple check is not check by the rules)
Nobody asked the question "what do we gain from a triple check?" Not much as it has the same effect as a double check. There is no other way to lift the checks than by moving the king. It takes a skilled chess composer to turn a triple check into something special.
By the way, I like the idea of 0-0-0-0 best. It requires somehow allowing castlings from a random game start position as long as king and rook are on the same file or row and haven't played in the game yet.

It's b6 +. b6 ++ is a way of denoting checkmate.
+ means check. ++ means double check. # means checkmate.
I found a triple check everyone !!....(but one catch....it hasta be in blitz )
....and 1...d5

That doesn't work because the pawn is pinned and cannot move, for if it does the proper move is queen takes king :rofl:
