RULES:
The object of the game is to checkmate both opponent’s Kings. Setup the pieces along the 2 outside rows of the board with each player’s pieces setup in between the green lines. Ensure that all the kings are placed on white spaces. White goes first then play proceeds clockwise with gray, then black.
The center of the board may only be passed through, it is not a space that can be occupied. Pieces may move straight through the center, to the other side. The adjoining vertical squares, through the center, maintain the same color. The Knight will also retain the same color if it moves through the center. To move a piece diagonally through the center, follow the trajectory lines out from the square to the other side. You can capture pieces on the other side of the center or move through it, following the line.
When a piece follows a diagonal trajectory line to the outer row of the board, that piece may not “turn the corner” and continue moving in 1 consecutive move, it must wait until the next turn before it can continue the trajectory.
Pieces may move vertical across spaces and through the center, or horizontally around the board on the same row. When moving a knight through the center, do not follow the trajectory lines. Whenever you move a knight, the knight must move 2 squares vertically then 1 square horizontally, or 1 square vertically then 2 horizontally. This process of movement is necessary to maintain when dealing with moats.
The thick green lines that boarder each team on the outer row are called ‘MOATS’. No piece can CHECK an opponent’s King through a moat, no matter what. No piece may travel across a moat, horizontally OR diagonally, unless the moat is “Bridged”. A piece may momentarily bridge a moat if its move across the moat doesn’t result in the capture of a piece or puts an opponent’s king in check. But, if a player is eliminated, then both of its Moats are permanently bridged for all pieces. Also, once an active player vacates their outer row of all their pieces, even if they bring them back later, then their moats are also permanently bridged.
If either configuration of a KNIGHT’S move would carry it Horizontally across a Moat, without that knight being able to bridge the moat, then that move is illegal and may not be done.
The thinner green lines above moats that run for 2 spaces are called “CREEKS”. Pawns may not capture across a creek on their own side of the board. They must advance to the space beyond the end of the CREEK first, on the 4th row from the outside, before they can capture in that direction. Once a pawn crosses the center, it no longer observe creeks.
A team’s CHECKMATE status is not finalized until it is their turn, unless their King is captured.
If a King’s position is so unfortunate whereas the next team’s move creates a CHECK by the following team, then that following team may capture that King if they wish. If they do, they are then considered CHECKMATED.
When player is CHECKMATED, that player is eliminated from the game but all their pieces remain on the board. These pieces do not move, they cannot check a king, and you may not pass a piece through them. If you wish to occupy a space with an eliminated player’s piece on it, then you must capture that piece.
If a player can not make a legal move, called a stalemate, and 3 players are still in, then that player is considered checkmated and eliminated from the game. If there are only 2 players during a stalemate, then the game is a draw.
Otherwise, the game continued between until only one player remains, then that player is the winner. Also, if you checkmate both opponent’s simultaneously, then you win. - Навчання та стиль
whoever made this vastly overestimated the number of friends chess players have
LOL
sadly you are right
Comment of the year
This is the most sadly accurate thing I have read in a while.
I know right, I could never find one friend to play chess with (I just resigned) Let alone 2 friends that need to understand this crazy board after a long explanation.
watching this chessboard is so painful
ikr I can barely understand the original chess rules
black hole
@@krunken_isok Feels like this board was made for Sherlock Holmes
@@JonatasAdoM I guess I'll never understand Chess and Cricket
Even the 4 players chessboard is more understandable than this xD
It's funny that bishops are really overpowered compared to knights on this. Mainly b/c of the center which lets any diagonal moving piece threaten both opponents at the same time.
shows how much power the church had/has 😅
You could probably balance it by requiring bishops to stop at the center, then they can cross on the next tur, so it takes 2 turns to pass through the cemter. (maybe the Queen can be exemot)
Finally, after centuries of waiting... Chess 2.
The ideas for this are as old as chess itself. There were a lot of variations in former times but just one kind of chess survived.
@Varyu San when a new big bang appears
Skipped a version actually. This is chess 3.
> The rules are the same as regular chess, except for these changes

Sounds pretty regular, tbh.

Leaks about the next update for chess:
• the number of players will be increased to 5
• Pieces will get more abilities according to their respective types (tank, dps, support)
• Pieces will evolve after a certain number of eliminations
• A stalemate will be resolved by an all out fistfight

Last rule is already in place in my country, stalemates are decided by who can defeat the oponent in a fistfight.

Actually, it has gone down. Diagonals now don't cross the entire board, they are all the same size too.
@@pairot01 It's not the distance that's the important part. It's the fact that it feels like it comes from nowhere. The center means that people won't notice the bishops generally until it's too late.
Bishop sniping is even worse on a Toroidal chess board. {3rd millenium chess+ cylinder chess= True toroidal chess}
As on that board if the opponent King is on white, and you have a bishop and a king on white, move the king to check the opponent [if he does not have any pieces on white]
@@darknessblades you're saying that an unobstructed bishop controls all the squares of its colour?
@@pairot01 Yes. exactly.
as the board is FULLY connected on all sides it would eventually hit the King, if you do enough "loops"

Imagine checkmating two opponents at the same time like a chad. Hikaru would be proud
I presume you're not referring to the protagonist of Ape Escape 2, who is called Hikaru in Europe and is the only Hikaru that I am familiar with.
@@DrRank He is talking about Hikaru Nakamura, a chess grandmaster and a so many times United States champion.
@Fremen In all due respect where re4spect is due, Hikaru is in the top 5 chess players in the world... It's a shame he's such a asshole in real life though. Magnus is still the GOAT and Hikaru cries when he gets beaten by him, and I won't lie, the schadenfreude is real lol.
@Fremen just cause he's asian doesn't mean his parents were mean to him you racist!!! its obvious you get that propaganda from cnn news! stan loona btw
Was thinking it is about "Hikaru Shindo" from "Hikaru no Go" anime.
I thought of a 3 player chess board but using either a triangular or hexagonal board. In such a board, the squares become triangles. So now pieces move all in three axis. And a diagonal move is done by traversing to the triangle connected just by a vertex.
I can very easily imagine pawns being a part of some serious orientation problems with this set up

Good luck making a perfect AI for this
Strangely, it might actually be easier to do that. More restrictions = less space to search = easier to find the best moves.
@@bastion8804 But it has to account for the 3rd player's moves
2 < 3 mafhs
@@FenrizNNN for a very limited number of turns, yes. I'd still say it's much easier.
It's actually simple with machine learning, this isn't 1990 anymore no need to do alpha beta pruning to find the best move with point heuristics, simply define check mating as the best result and capturing important pieces as positive, define losing any piece negative with being checkmated the worst and let it play a billion games against ever improving versions of itself.
Since there's no opening move book and no theory studied for thousands of years the computer will be world champion with very likely the first version to come out of this process.
@@blueplayer6197 No matter for how long you train the AI, it still isn't perfect.
A perfect chess "AI" is one that knows every possible move, and how to best react to it.
Now the real question is how does this scale to n-player chess by expanding the circle?
Probably not well, because the board becomes longer so you'll be dimishing the value of short ranged pieces. The games would be longer not only because there are more players, but because you need more time to get in a confrontation.
Discord chess?
the neat part is you shouldn't
The power of rooks, bishops and queens increases exponentially as the board expands, obviously - before long, you're launching bishops at pieces that are "unseen over the horizon".
@@arcadiaberger9204 Chess 3, where we launch intercontinental ballistic bishops at unseen players across the great chessboard. Nobody is sure how many are even playing, simply that they must win.
This seems unironically really well thought out
It feels like an inter dimensional war through a portal….. and it give the chess a whole new straegic sense!!

As interesting as this is, it is quite a bit more complicated than my "chess for three" board I purchased 20 years ago. In that case the squares weren't actually Square, they were warped to allow things to line up and the 3 starting territories were nested out.
That all said, this is still interesting and I would probably pick this one up as well.
This looks like so much fun!
Imagine the last two players. One running away and the other chasing him through-out the board. It's never going to finish.
Couldn’t you pin him against a moat?
@@gargoyles9999 nope. There's no pining in chess.

Imagine what theory would look like in this.
Imagine how long something like 'chess royale' or 100 player chess would take to finish 1 match, or how expensive it will be
I mean, it could be done digitally
Last player is fucked.
He gets his turn 100 moves later than everyone else, half of his board wiped in 2 sets of turns
this is probably the most confusing chess ever
I didn't know this existed but im happy that it did and now im gonna learn it.
If I learn this I might forgot how to play chess lol
I am so glad you aren’t doing a monopoly or Uno this video! Great video, keep up the great work.
Thanks! (Although there will be more monopoly and uno videos coming in the future…)

@@TripleSGames LOL
@@TripleSGamesWhy does knights move 2 squares vertically then 1 square horizontally or 1 square vertically then two squares horizontally but not 2 squares horizontally then 1 square vertically?
Wow, this Three Houses demake is amazing!
I think the chessboard would be better if you put two ranks of 8 squares that interface at each player’s part of the outer circle, with gaps between each player.
Thus you can avoid the problem of moats.
Imagine the chess magicians played this
And watch the board blow up
Two players chess easier to understand. Of course opinions can vary.
You are right, Captain Obvious.
nah B)
how tf do someone would think that 3 players are much more easier to understand than 2. This is created just to add new variation to the original game

actually it was invented by George R. Dekle Sr. in 1984

@@zachnado69, what you mean is the concept was invented.
lol
I don’t know if this is the greatest or most terrifying things I’ve ever seen.
This actually looks fun
Ok, but how exactly does a knight move across the middle? When counting the spaces, does the middle count as a space, or do you skip it? How do you tell what spaces are perpendicular to the one used to enter the middle? Very confuse
I believe the middle space doesn't count. For example, if the knight is two spaces away from the middle, it can move those two spaces, jump the middle to the opposite square, and then move a single space to the right or left.
That seems like the most logical option, but the way they talked about it made it seem like it counted as a space, just not one you could land on. If you or anyone else stumbles across the rules somewhere, link it.
@@crackerjaq9974 doesnt he say at some point that the middle doesnt count as a space, therefore no piece can moove on it? Sound for me like it doesnt count
pawn - nerf
knight - balanced
bishop - buff
queen - buff
rook - balanced

Got this game for my cousin. It's great :D
All nice and good. Very interesting piece of art as well.
Just one thing that bothered me during the explanation: Why does the pawn next to a creek have to advance to the 4th row before he can capture?
Looks to me as if from row 3 he might just be clear of that old creek already, when advancing diagonally?
Commenting here if someone answers. I thought the same thing
"Sir, are you _sure_ we should reccomend him this?"
"Eh, they'll watch anything at this point."
bro this is fire
this is good , if you lose you can always say that, these two played together against you! hahah awsome !
Been tryin to save money lately....
But screw that! I want three person chess!
1:03 I mean... They drew the trajoctory lines on the board and if those are the rules then those are the rules,
but isn't this counter intuitivly to actual chess? If a straight moving piece like the rook would go through the center and end up on space with the same colour it would make sense, that a bishop, which normal movement retains it's colour throughout its whole movement would end up on a space after moving through the middle, that wouldn't match it's colour (in contrary to straight moving pieces as it is in normal chess).
Nevermind. It is fine (as I said: Rules are rules and it doesn't matter, what rules and logics of another game are saying and it probably helps to balance the game) but the movement of the bishop seemed very off from those trajectory lines.
In the example 1:03 I would intutivly say, that bishop would need to end up 3 field clockwise upwards were it would end up if the inital movement would go upwards end it would end up on a black field (as the logic of normal chess would dictate: Straight moving pieces end up on different colored space if moved by one space, diagonly moved pieces on a different if moved by one space).
Imagine explaining this to your friends before playing and they say they don't wanna play
What about queening? you know, transforming your pawn into a queen?

I'm assuming a pawn is promoted after reaching either of the other players' outer rows, but I don't really know.

This looks fun!!!!!!
Yes it looks chaotic but very fun
In my opinion, they should add a couple more rules to enhance the experience and add its own unique gameplay to it.
1. No bishop/rook/queen can check through the circle; It'd make strategic advancements much more entertaining and rewarding (More info in my 3rd rule suggestion).
2. Promoting to a piece in the center will be possible. However, doing so will render the piece *vulnerable*. Which will allow other's enemy pieces to capture the center at will. If an enemy piece did in fact capture the piece, it will still not be allowed to check from inside the circle. Hence, turning it *passive* instead.
To activate the center piece, it must exit the circle (in any In any enemy direction, you shall not return your piece to your side). It will only allow the piece to cross the circle border; You must first cross the border, then your piece is free to roam.
3. The player can refuse to promote to a queen and place their pawn in the center, doing so will allow the player to advance the pawn two spaces forward in the direction of either enemy territories (similarly, the piece must not return to its original side). By advancing your pawn off the center, en passant will be viable in your opponent's next turn.
These will make 3 player chess become more entertaining add its own unique flavor to the game-mode.
For instance, by combing the 2nd rule and the 3rd, I can make use of my pawns to shield the vulnerable queen. Punishing my enemies for not controlling crucial spaces in the process.
