Looks like you can't order this one anymore. I play with some friends at work frequently. It's loads of fun. Combinations get really complicated with the turn rotation & multiple attack angles, especially when all players are competent.

Superb format for 4 player chess.  This page seems to be out of date, but
you may be able to find more info here:

I was really hoping to find the Download link to play this on my PC but,
alas, it is not to be...

I love this game!!! All the strategies that work on a single board work on this board and it is the only double chess game that I can say that about. As mentioned above the site is down.... big bummer. If anyone knows how to get this game again would you please give me the information. [email protected]

I ended up making my own board out of an old round coffee table, a yard
stick, some paint & a couple $10 glass chess sets. makes a good piece of
furniture.

I am surprised to see so many people who love this game! I have been
playing with competent players since 1995. I was present in the glory days
of the working internet version (also during the buggy beta versions?!). I
played the patentees' (Rick and Henry) several times and Bill Cosby once,
for a couple of moves. 

My friends and I still play approx. 2 x per month. I am, and have been the
greatest player I know of and will accept any 'correspondence challenge'
to prove it. I will have a website which happily shares my accumulated
knowledge up by June 09. My address is [email protected] 
The website will contain: opening theory; annotated games, including the
'Game of the century'; and examples of the attacks and defenses that have
shaped our style.

I hope you guys still play and the game takes off soon. That coffee table
rocks! I am currently making inlaid wood sets and I may sell some on EBAY
down the road. I also possess the elusive computerized version that is
invaluable for running variations. Also, I know a distributor of the board
game. Contact me.

I recently acquired this game and no rules were included. Can someone please share or copy the rules, or point me to where I can find them? Much searching has brought me here--hopefully someone can help. Thanks!

Many of the old links on the CVP can be found archived on the Wayback Machine. Here's a link to an archived version of the second link's rules page:

Ben, is the email listed on your person page accurate? I tried to email you and it came back.

Jeremy Good wrote on Sat, Dec 6, 2014 05:21 PM UTC:

Ben, please just email me if you don't want to post it here. Thank you.

Ben Reiniger wrote on Sat, Dec 6, 2014 05:28 PM UTC:

My email listed there is correct; make sure you have an underscore ("_") between the name and the "cvp".  (If that fails, you can also just email the general contact email and I'll get to it.)

I mistook "cvp" as "CUP" - sorry. Thanks! :-)
