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.
