Nomic.net has a fourplayer chess game called fourplay archived, where 
each player is associated with one corner of the board.

And chessvariants.com has 'chess for any number of players', where each 
player has half a board, and a 'move' consists of joining any two 
half-boards and making a legal move.

nomic chess!
