About 3 Man Chess

3 Man Chess is played in the round, that is, the field of play is circular.  For the most part, 3 Man Chess is played just like conventional Chess. there was NEVER any intention of trying to make the game better because that cant be done. However, being able to play with three minds interacting creates situations that never arise in conventional Chess.

3 Man Chess circular game board consists of 6 concentric ranks of 24 files and an open central void that pieces may pass, but not stop on. There are teardrop shaped curves drawn on the board to help diagonal moves navigate the void.3 Man Chess uses conventional chess teams (three of them!) 16 pieces that follow all of their traditional rules; 8 pawns start on rank #2 protecting 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, a queen and a king which start on rank #1 (the outermost rank).The teams are separated from each other by moats and creeks that are impassable at the start of the game.Diagonal moves follow the drawn guidelines, passing across the center to the opposite spoke.Straight moves may also pass across the central void, or move around the circular ranks.

After just a couple of turns around the board, strategy becomes intensely complex and fascinating! An unexpected move might well result in a cascading massacre. Defense is crucial since a diagonal move through the center, or a horizontal move around the center can sneak up behind you. Your two opponents can team up to checkmate you, or ultimately you can checkmate both of them at the same time!

The Void

At the center of the 3 Man Chess board is the void. Pieces may cross over the void as if it were not there, but cannot stop on it. Pieces traveling in a straight line (including knights) simply cross the void and continue on their way, whereas pieces moving/attacking diagonally must follow the curved guidelines shown.

Moats

There is a moat between each team on the outer rank to prevent players from immediately pummeling each other. When the outer rank between two moats is completely empty, the two become bridged and pieces can pass over it freely for the rest of the game.

Creeks

Creeks extend moats by two additional ranks. These prevent Pawns from diagonally capturing pieces until the Pawn is past the creek, ensuring players can safely move further into the board early game. Creeks have no effect on pawns after they hit rank 4 and never affect other pieces.
