This variant of chess is not notable. The source cited is about the author, not the variant. SyG (talk) 13:50, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Chess variant#Chess with different boards. The article as is doesn't say much, but after a Gsearch, there really isn't much else to say. Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 19:13, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator. It is a recent invention and isn't in the encyclopedia of chess variants. I don't think it should be merged into chess variant because there are a couple thousand variants. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 00:45, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to three-handed chess, in that I can see "three way chess" as a more likely search term for the three player versions of the two-player game. Seriously, who the hell has three hands? The article reveals nothing "Three-way chess is a chess variant with rules invented by Richard Harshman. It is played by three players on a six-sided board with hexagonal cells." The website from threewaychess.org is just as uninformative, suggesting that nobody can explain how it works, and that it isn't notable enough that people are playing it. Like "Klingon Boggle", it would be of limited interest. Mandsford 01:42, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment There are several chess variations with three players. This article and three-handed chess are very different, so I don't think it should be redirected there. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 01:58, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: I wrote the article but has now moved the information (the little information there was) to Chess_variant#Multiplayer_variants (I hope that is ok?), so I suggest a redirect, until someone extends the three-way chess article beyond stub. The official rules of the game are here. — fnielsen (talk) 10:25, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect As above, redirect to Chess Variant. Nwlaw63 (talk) 20:49, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
