Three-check chess
Chess variant where three checks end the game
Three-check chess, also simply known as three-check, is a chess variant where the objective of the game is to place one's opponent in check three times. Standard rules of chess apply, such as the same starting position, stalemate and checkmate ending the game. A move is considered to give one check if the king is threatened, regardless if multiple pieces are checking the king.[1][2][3] Three check can be played over the board, but it is also popular on internet chess servers such as Chess.com and Lichess.
