Years ago I played 4 player chess, which was played as a team game. 4 player chess makes more since to me, Since in 3 player chess, two of the players may gang up on the third; so defense might be much more important than attacking. What I remember about 4 player chess was that a bishop was much stronger than a knight.

Chess news: The Chess Olympiad, in Khanty-Mansiysk. Where? Khanty-Mansiysk. — As the biennial Chess Olympiad approaches, the World Chess Federation has released a schedule of charter flights to the site of the event. The need for such planning has a lot to do with where the competition is being held. It is in Khanty-Mansiysk, Siberia. It begins Sept. 19 and ends Oct. 3. If Khanty-Mansiysk does not ring a bell in the same way as places such as Paris or London, here are a few facts about the place, courtesy of its official Web site. The city’s population is 62,000 and it is about 1,800 miles from Moscow.

Two Vietnamese Chess Players Make a Name for Their Homeland — Could the emergence of world-class chess players be a sign of a country’s economic progress? Consider the case of Vietnam. First, it struck a trade agreement with the United States in 2000, and then six years later joined the World Trade Organization. Now, two chess players who were born there in the early 1990s — just 15 years or so after the Vietnam War ended — have joined the ranks of the world’s chess elite with a series of impressive finishes. One of them, Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son, who is ranked No. 157 in the world, tied for third at the Aeroflot Open in Moscow, the strongest open tournament of the year, in February. This week, Nguyen, 20, tied for first with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of ... The endgame: How can Black win here? — Black is on the brink of victory. But what is the crucial next move? RB This seems straightforward. What's wrong with the simple 1...d2, when White might as well resign? After 2 Kc2, Black has 2...b3+ to deflect the king from the queening square d1 and it's all over: 3 Kxb3 d1=Q or 3 Kd1 b2 with the same result. The only danger to Black here has to be stalemate, and with the a5 and c4 pawns blocked there's an obvious potential for such an outcome. What would happen if after 1...d2 White played 2 Be2. Would taking the bishop play into White's hands? If 2...Kxe2... well, I don't see any stalemate here. What am I missing? Since this is one of Dan's own chess games it's ...
