Mad Threeparty Chess starts on an empty board.

This variant is for three players on a 10×10 board. Each player has a standard set of pieces in his own colour, including an extra king, but no pawns.

Game rules

The board starts empty. Players take turns, in clockwise rotation around the board, placing one of their pieces on any vacant square. Kings are placed last, but must not be placed in check.

The two kings of each player are marked differently. (For example, of a player's two kings, one might be marked with a star.) Each player attacks the marked king of the opponent to his left, and the unmarked king of the opponent to his right. It is not permitted to check the opponents' other kings.

The first player to checkmate a king wins the game.

Famous quotes containing the words mad and/or chess:

    Mad about the boy,
    I know it’s stupid to be mad about the boy,
    I’m so ashamed of it
    But must admit
    The sleepless nights I’ve had about the boy.
    On the Silver Screen
    He melts my foolish heart in every single scene.
    Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    Women’s childhood relationships with their fathers are important to them all their lives. Regardless of age or status, women who seem clearest about their goals and most satisfied with their lives and personal and family relationships usually remember that their fathers enjoyed them and were actively interested in their development.
    —Stella Chess (20th century)
