with my former chess club, we've sometimes had "games-night", meaning any
bordgame but normal chess. I've played 4-player chess, and i'm quite sure
i've seen 3-player chess, as well as 3-d chess. Indeed playing 3-d chess is
a headache, and a funny thing about multiplayer-chess is that when you take
an opponents piece and he takes yours back, your both a piece behind! so
"normal" chess logic doesn't apply, and it becomes a totally different game

also fun is the original Indian chess with dice (you roll to decide which
piece to play) and four players.

If you're serious about it, inform with a good role-playing store; mostly
these people are nuts about games and will be able to help you

enjoy!
