For a refresher of the original rules of Chess, check out this video: https://youtu.be/iPXcfS0UDlI Buy Double-Sided Chess Discs here: https://buy.triplesgames.com/DoubleSidedChessDiscs Play chess online for free here: https://link.triplesgames.com/Play-Chess-Online (As an chess.com affiliate we earn from qualifying subscriptions) Want to see how my chess board was made, check out this video: https://link.triplesgames.com/WoodUmakeIt RULES: The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. On the bottom left first row, setup the blue pieces, from left to right: king, rook, pawn. 2nd row: knight, elephant, pawn. 3rd row: pawn, pawn. Mirror this setup for the 3 other players in the other corners. The elephant jumps 2 spaces diagonally, over any piece in the way. Each players two sets of pawns move in perpendicular directions towards their opponents. Pawns are not allowed their initial double-step move, therefore en passant is not allowed. When a pawn reaches the edge of the board, it promotes to a general. Generals move 1 space diagonally. Castling is not allowed. Blue moves first, then play proceeds counterclockwise. Your king cannot capture a piece that is protected by any enemy piece. When you are checkmated you lose and are eliminated from the game. Remove your king from the board and the player who mated you gains control of your pieces. Pawns still continue in their original direction. If you are stalemated, then you lose and all your pieces are removed from the board. The last player remaining, wins.

About Four Seasons Chess, from BoardGameGeek:

An interesting four-player version of chess from medieval Spain. Each player represents one of the seasons, and starts the game with a king, a rook, a knight, a bishop and four pawns in one corner of the board. The pawns are split, and move away from the corner in one of two directions. Each player is supposed to attack the player to his right, and on checkmating his opponent takes over the use of his pieces. From Alfonso X's Book of Games.
