Because it's new. I would guess there are times when it is busier than others.

Perhaps if you post the time( using chess.com's PST) when you typically look for a game, you would find some others.

Is there a club for four player chess?

it's new but the saddest part is the match doesn't last long. Like always, when annoying opponents discover half-way through that their losing, they surrender

the matches don't last that long! then you have to wait another long period of time to get a short match

maybe that's why the decent players have all quit playing four player and if you want to play a match, you get all the trolls?

I think people have attempted to make clubs for this but there are still a lot of conflicts and most of it has failed as four player chess hasn't really hit off yet

this happens all the time! It's really irritating because then you have to wait for another match all over again!
