Description
Several versions of three-player chess have been developed over the last few years. This site offers a place to discuss them and to play one particular version, called "Three-Way Chess" (abbreviated TWC or 3WC). The board and initial setup are shown at right.
Design goals: In developing this version, we have focused on optimally carrying over to three-way chess the “deep” strategic/mathematical properties of the game of chess that are important in high-level play. At the same time we have tried to incorporate the most important and engaging new dimensions of play made possible by the presence of three players. We will post more on these objectives and how we have tried to realize them in the future, and invite discussion from players and others.
In order to play : You can (i) use your computer printer to construct a physical three-way chess set; (ii) use the java software provided on this site to display an electronic (semi-intelligent) chess board and active chess pieces; or (iii) use three computers at three different locations, each displaying "electronic" Boards which you keep manually synchronized via our chat-rooms. (And (iv) an over-the-net link that automatically synchronizes moves on the Demo Boards of all three players is under development.)
