Hi Michael,
What we know about Chaturaji comes from a couple of Sanskrit manuscripts, both of which specifically state that it was played with dice. There are other forms of four-player Chess, which have been observed in India more recently than these manuscripts, but we have not yet incorporated them into our database.
If you know of any other sources about Chaturaji or four-player chess, please let us know!
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Best Wishes,
Walter
