I made a three-player game a while back, and the same things apply as to
any more-than-two-player game--the King need not respond to 'check' (it
may not be his TURN next,) the King may go 'suicidal,' (interpersonal
play ALWAYS causes weaker players to gang up on a strong one, and you
might trust the following player not to take advantage of your King's
exposed condition,) and the pieces of a 'dead' King must be dealt with
somehow.
It hadn't occurred to me to remove the dead King's pieces; I decided to
let them remain as obstacles, capturable at leisure as required by the
surviving players (on a real table it's fun to have a bigger stack of
'prisoners',) and actually your 'pandemonium' which ensues by removing
the dead King's pieces would be quite exciting, and in a way, for him, a
revenge from the grave. 'Kill ME, huh?!  Well, here's some confusion for
ya, ya dogs!' What fun. Good idea and thanks for it.

I have a new rule set similar to yours, although we play 4-Way Chess on the
Dessau board. Its called REGICIDE RULES, the king must be actually captured
rather than just check-mated. Even when check-mated a player still gets to
make a move even if moving into check, and sometimes check-mate can be
evaded, it is intense. After a king is killed the rest of his pieces
remain on the board and can not move except to capture. See the rules at
this link:

Hey Locke, I built one of those (the Altenburg variety) THEN found this
page. The rule I'd set up was the golden rule around the original chess
board (ie no rook pawns capturing across the line into the other kitches,
to avoid the pawn of doom march).

As far as Check/Checkmate, I simply had it that you still must announce
check etc. But the person can still capture INTO checkmate. So the king
can go suicidal if they choose, but if the king dies, ALL of that
player's pieces disappear. You can see the logistical pandemonia that
would ensue, all of a sudden you have holes, mayhem.

A blast, just a blast to play. You have to be mindful of the fact that it
will be 3 turns after you go that you can go again. Partners across the
table only, but if you eliminate one person, the war is pretty much over.

So the only changes to the version I do is pawns not capturing across the
rule (ie the rook line outward). And check does not stop nor hinder a
king, until he's killed at which point all that players pieces are
removed. You must actually kill the king.

In Moscow (Russia) there is a club that plays The game of Dessau
Many people participate. The game called Quad Chess (or Kvadratichnye
Shakhmaty)

Your page is missing some info about rulls:
1. If one of the players is mated, his pieces can not be taken (in
addition that they can't move)
2. King still can't go to the checked areas of mated player
3. Team players can't talk to each other
4. When two pawn (from 2 players of the same team) reach one another next
moving pawn jumps over the other one (moving 2 spaces). It can because a
different peice ones it reach the end (even if it's on the side of the
cross)

also as far as I know, pawns can make initian 2 space jump.
