3-player chess board

hiya folks,

saw this really funky looking polish-made wooden 3-player chess set in a catalog....curious if anyone has messes around with this kinda variant? at the very leat, it would make a cool conversation piece!

(duh..i posted this twice--it's posted in the "only chess" forum which is where i meant it to go...i'm new at this!) d-😕

I've got a gorgeous three player chess board sitting on the table beside me. It is, supposedly, possible to play, although very tricky. I have never tried. It's hard enough trying to persuade one of my mates to play chess with me, let alone two!! Cretins 😉

Back in my college days I remember once playing on a 4-set board (4x8 half board attached to each side of the 8x8 board) with a couple of strong chess experts. The 4-sets/2-player team aspect really multiplies the difficulty in planning and execution of strategy. Headaches are guaranteed playing this chess variant.

Check out www.chessvariants.com it has alot of information and links about all kinds of variants. Including three and four sided chess😀.

Enjoy,

Playing a normal chess game with two teams of two, each player taking alternate moves with no conferring can be instructive or just fun. Its easy to misunderstand your team mate's ideas.

Anybody remember a television series called Northern Exposure,i really got into it but i missed alot of episodes,can anybody give me suggestions on accessing copies of said?

SORRY, I was just trying to start a new thread, lost the plot, i will try again.

I remember creating a four-player chess set in highschool, where there were 2X8 extended rows on each of the for sides of a regular 64 squared chess set; it was loads of fun.
