Team Chess

Up to 4 players chess on a 16x8 double board

What it does

1) it is very close to the standard popular chess having the simplest possible way to expand for 4 players 2) it is based on team coordination. Trying to be as simple as possible a 4 player game can be, it allows for players to make teams and challenge other teams. 3) there is also a single player version, where an extension of stockfish engine (published in GitHub) can be an unbeatable opponent even for the greatest traditional chess game players 4) possibility to solve team chess puzzles.

And of course there are apps that can analyze games but tracking and inputting games by hand is a huge pain. Or fully-digital chess apps... but board games are way more fun in real life! We wondered: “why can’t you just do that in software and bring the best…

    I continue my experiment of transposing classic games onto an irregular grid. I've previously released variants of minesweeper and checkers. And now I'd like to share my variant of Chess. Chess can be a pretty punishing game, but I thought this was nevertheless a way to make it even more challenging by making it trickier to anticipate your opponent, even though both players still have the same information. From the playtests I've done, that challenge is pretty compelling. It also seems to be more fun at 2 people, where both players keep surprising one another.
