Playing with Schönberg

Arnold Schönberg’s Coalition Chess is a strategic board game where four players form alliances to overcome their opponents. Although it is highly based on traditional Chess, this creation from Schönberg is like no other variant of the classic game. The expansion of the board, the addition of two sets of pieces and the added two-player strategy component make this a completely different game.

Question related to the playability of this game have been debated in the past. Michel Paquette (School of Computer Science, Carleton University, Ottawa/Canada) brings new answers in the form of a multiplayer, Internet-based, computerized gaming environment inside which users from around the globe will be able to meet and play.
