About Three-Check
How Three-Check works
Every rule of standard chess applies, and checkmate still wins. In addition, a counter tracks the checks each side has delivered; the moment you give your third check — they need not be consecutive — the game is over.
Sacrifices that would be unsound in ordinary chess are often winning here, because a check is worth material. Keep your own king covered and think twice before castling into an open line.
