Four-Way Chess

This page contains one or more presets for playing a game online with Game Courier, an online server for playing Chess variants by correspondence.

Four players form 2 teams and partners face each other. With 2 players each person controls two armies. All of the rules of regular chess apply. White moves first and play continues clockwise around the board with each player moving one piece per turn. The first team to capture both enemy kings wins.
