Someone Made 3 Person Chess, Like in The Big Bang Theory

by James Plafke | 5:05 pm, May 18th, 2011

Character Shelden Cooper on the sitcom The Big Bang Theory invented a game of three person chess that contained two new pieces with a very particular set of rules. Whether or not one happens to find The Big Bang Theory a laugh riot or mind-numbing skull-drivel that makes one swear off television because it’s so bad that it makes other shows bad by proxy, three person chess is awesome.

The rules of the non-sitcom three man chess are fairly simple, and they basically amount to “regular chess but with another person.” Most of the additional rules — aside from the addition of border control rules — are simply guidelines regarding how to deal with the circle in the center of the board, and they generally result in “just ignore it.”

     It’s sad that no-one mentioned Chaturaji yet.

     I felt the need to clarify – This has ewxisted since long before big bang went on the air, since, to the best of my knowledge, game and chess shops were selling it before it went on air.
