Eight person Chess
Sort:
The eight person chess is excellent idea! But gut chess exist only on Euclidean boards tailings by regular polygons. Therefore the best solution is a tree-dimensional chess on four classical boards ( 8x8x4), i.e. "Real Team Chess". A piece may move everywhere as in 3D chess but a player can do a move only from his own board.
Maybe dinosaurs from FIDE will understand this before Tokyo Olympics games. It is better to sink twenty dinosaurs than to catch twenty whales.

My board is a modified verison of this youtube video showing a board for 8-player chess. It has been modified by a decrease in cell radius of one and a decrease in file number of two.
All of the proposed pieces (in the video) were rejected for being too divergant from the classic rules for my taste. Instead I have added an extra queen to file the extra file the board creates.
This file is a file strangers with the link may comment on. It contains all the notation rules and game rules I have been able to decide on the rules those details.
If the rule is not mentioned, it either has not been changed, or has been changed in a way I felt was so logical it didn't need mentioned (like how having two queens would affect castling).
I am looking for people willing to read the rules for errors and oversights, as well as people comfortable enough with chess notation to learn the notation of the game in order to play a few games in search of rule irregularities by playing the game (and 'cause I actually want to play the game).
Sure im down
Lol hope it works. I’m excited for it. MAKE SURE YOU TELL ALL OF CHESS.COM.
