I did and it would be a really, really exotic position to do so.

I downloaded a 4 player chess program once. The computer was WAY too good at double teaming though. Would love to play with real people sometime, looked fun. 🙂

It's a bit like bridge meets chess. I imagine it'd be really good with three people who really know what they're doing.

I played 3 player chess... it had an extra piece (A prince) that could be crowned. Was very strange, but quite fun.

I can't recall exactly what it became - sort of a more powerful queen (Knight moves too I think perhaps? ). It was bizarre.

I'm not sure if I know three people that know what they're doing.
