Rules for playing chess at four FFA (Free-For-All) variant.
The game of chess starts with the red player. Clockwise: red, blue, yellow, and green.
The chess game ends when three players have been eliminated. If a player is abandoned before all players have made at least four moves and nobody has points yet, and the abandoning player was not in check, the game will be suspended and he will lose the rating.
A disconnected player has 60 seconds to reconnect before losing in time.
When a player leaves a four-player chess game, that player's King remains on the board with random moves controlled by the AI.
The "dead" pieces are represented in gray when a player is eliminated.
The capture of the dead pieces does not award any points.
The last player will receive 20 or (40) points for each live king (except his) remaining on the board.
In the case of Tables for insufficient material, repetition of 3 times, or the rule of 50 moves, the remaining players receive 10 points each.
The total points do not directly affect the ELO score, only the final position of the game.
Also, you can not talk about the mistakes that can be solved, but you can discuss what has already happened if you can not undo it. If you break this rule you will be banned from chatting or even expelled from the game.
Examples of forbidden phrases: "watch out for red", "let's attack green together", "I won't capture your queen", "protect your pawn", "leave", "don't leave".
