I just got into a situation where I'm leading in checks 2-1 and I got a possibility to check in my next move however opponent ties 2-2 and I have to move out of my check instead of finishing the game. Is it meant to be that way? According to rules I think it is but that doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

Chaosu:The question is about 3 Checks Chess, I presume? I disagree with you: I think that your first priority in any move you make is to escape check (if you have been placed in check and can do so). Just as in standard chess.

Your new variant would allow both kings to be in check simultaneously...and might even allow you to ignore the fact that you've been mated, in order to deliver a 3rd check. Do you think that *those* possibilities are good ideas?
