 Out Of The Box Publishing: Bosworth Reviews
Games like SCHACHJAGD, LASKA or SCHACH DEM SCHLAUKOPF were not able to lessen the normal player's fear of the elitist, they were anyway more like a joke for the serious chess players and therefore they remained on the store shelves like lead, even DREIERSCHACH's existence remains pretty much without a future.
Since the game board, as mentioned before, is relatively small - the main playing area only comprises 16 fields - space becomes increasingly tight and the more valuable pieces like bishops, rooks or queen all of a sudden have little space to move, which forces them to move.
The game rules, which at the presentation of the game at the recent Spiel show in Essen were also available in German, contain the special rules as well as the initial set-ups and for all beginners graphic descriptions of the chess pieces' movements.

One final note: while "playing out of turn" is a valid penalty, it is not enforcable when the play is "out of turn" due to a non-sequential event.
One even-more-final note: Clearly, this is a game which lends itself to house rules, so the above are meant as guidelines or an initial starting place, and people should consider modifying them if they feel it'd make the game more fun.
