What is "three-check chess"?
Three-check chess is a chess variant where the goal is to check the opponent’s king three times. Each player follows the usual rules of chess, but the game ends as soon as one player checks the opponent’s king three times, regardless of whether the checkmate has been achieved. The game encourages aggressive play and forces players to protect their king more carefully, as one check can quickly lead to another. Three-check chess adds a unique twist to the strategy of traditional chess by focusing on the number of checks rather than just capturing the king.
Example
