Four-player chess variant played on a large circular ring shaped board.

General rules

The game is played in two teams: Yellow and Red play against Green and Blue. Move order: Yellow, Green, Red, Blue.

The teams win and lose together. The game ends at the first checkmate, and the team whose member delivered the mate wins. The teammates cannot capture each other's pieces.

Details: Four-player chess.

Other rules

• Allies begin next to each other, so players facing each other are always opponents.
• Pawns always move towards the nearest opponent's base.
• Pawns promote just before the dashed lines. (These lines have no other meaning.)
• Null-moves that do not change the position are not allowed: on an otherwise empty ring, a queen or a rook cannot make a full round to move back to its starting field.
