A browser game for four-player chess on a 14×14 cross-shaped board, with one shared link for players and spectators.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

A game creator receives a unique address, and player slots fill in a fixed red–blue–green–yellow sequence as visitors arrive. The first four participants play on a cross-shaped 14×14 board; subsequent visitors receive a live spectator view with move history. The site also documents a local mode for four people sharing one screen and explains a variant win condition in which the first checkmate ends the game.
