The strategical part is really interesting : since the first one to checkmate any opponent wins, if you are about to do so, the third opponent is going to team up with the would-be-checkmated to save themselves. Tricky, but it goes for a well balanced game. Try it with "Tempete sur l'echiquier" (http://www.chessvariants.com/cards.dir/tempete.html, "Knightmare Chess" for the English version of the game) Headache incomimg! My brother has one of those.

It's a lot harder, and a lot of fun. I own one of these boards, and playing on it is a complete mindfuck… at least for the first few games. It’s a lot harder, and a lot of fun.
