Say, how do people feel about Chess subgames? That's something else that could be tracked as Rob describes.

Of course, that's not exactly conducive to multiplayer play... but perhaps something could be devised.

-Ho ho, yes it is... I present for everyone's approval an existing chess variant, Nomic Chess:
http://www.chessvariants.com/multiplayer.dir/nomicchess.html
which could be adapted to fit in with our current ruleset, or spliced in as one massive rule. Or we could go simpler and use the root game, Chess For Any Number of Players:

There was also a four player nomic-chess that never really got off the ground called Fourplay... it's archived at http://www.nomic.net/deadgames/fourplay/fourplay.html
