How about this... (multi player game)

You don't take a side (black or white). The purpose of the game is to be the one to make the checkmate.

Each player is assigned a number (0-2, or 0-3).
A 'who-goes-next-number' is calculated by adding the numerical equivalent of the board position of the last move, and taking the modulus of the number of players.

Example: Last move was E4-E5.
Take E5: E is 5th letter of alphabet, plus 5 is 10.
Modulus of 10 into 4 is 2.
Player number 2 moves.
Of course, you could plan your move so that your move comes up immediately again.
The side you move for (B or W) is determined by the sequence of moves, alternating.

Have I bastardized the game enough yet?
