FOUR-HANDED CHESS

Variant of chess described in Frere’s Chess Handbook published in 1858. Played in London during the 19^th century, the game is known with two variations: The Hughes game and the Verney game. Verney’s game received much attention in and outside London and for many years London knew a four handed chess club (from 1885 until World War II). In 1885, Verney wrote an extensive book on chess variants.
