Long ago I saw something similar in the flesh, but with the Bishops and Knights the other way round (as in standard 2-handed Chess). Why have you swapped them round in this variant? Another question, which applies equally to the variant that I saw live (but which I did not think of then as I was so young), is what moves are valid for a Bishop moving through the eight central cells, and for a Knight moving through the borders between them? Good answers could lead to an uprating to Excellent!
By clicking links,the picture of everyone playing,then rules,you can see how each piece moves on the board.It is an excellent 4 man game compared with the other 4 man versions I have seen.It gets a little confusing in the center area,but once you figured it out it easy to start inflicting damage on your two opponents.
Some people tell that there was four-player variant of old Xiang-qi variant 'Game of three kingdoms'...
The Game of the Three Kingdoms and The Game of the Three Friends are 3-player versions of Xiang Qi. My own Flyover Xiang Qi is a four-player version making use of the fact that the number of files divides exactly by 3 rather than 2.
