4 player chess

chess.com has implemented 4 player chess. Unfortunately, the developers there are not very good and it's hard to play and spectate. When will lichess implement 4 player? I trust lichess developers and their clean UI.
4 player chess is still in beta on chess.com. I'm also not sure how hard it would be to implement 4 player chess on lichess, or if it would even be seriously considered by the developers and/or the lichess community. From what I understand, Seirawan chess is likely to be the next variant.
I played a game at chess.com. I think this scoring system is a joke.

Are we playing dominoes or chess? I have eliminated every other player, still came in second.

Also queening in the middle of the board is not helpful.

Interesting that chess.com also not implemented en passant ( makes sense because pawns are far apart, why bother with a technically difficult rule? ).

I still want to play normal chess just with four players. The way I implemented it ( close to hellochess rules with king capture necessary to finish off a player but I only allow normal promotion ).
Hello jatekos.
True, there are players with 1000 or points that are unbeatable,
something does not work.

I do not understand why it is so famous chess.com indeed, I understand, there are big names of chess.

I apologize for any writing mistakes but use a translator
Look, chess.com is all about money.

They tried to make this four player thing popular so they give scores. You get points for captures based on material value or for giving a check. So never mind if you are mated, if you have the score you win over the side who mated you.

The whole thing is contrary to the spirit of chess. So tabloid, so pitty. So 'antichess' if you get what I mean ( not the variant Antichess which I like much ).

In chess if you lose all your pieces except for one that gives mate, you win. This is the beauty of chess.

I repeat: I want to play CHESS, just with four players.
I would be willing to play 2v2 on a 4-way chess board, now that would be tactical =]
