Four-handed Chess

Four-handed chess (also known as Four-player, Four-man, or Four-way chess) is a chess variant, which is typically played with four people. It is played on a special board, which is made of standard 8×8 board with an additional 3 rows of 8 cells extending from each side. Four sets of different colored pieces are needed to play this game. Four way chess follows the same basic rules as regular two way chess. There are many different rule variations of this game. Most variants, however, share the same board and similar piece setup.
