Yes the site describes the rules. As far as I can judge, those rules are the ones already reported in our page (made by the Michel G andJérôme C, the Jocly's people).

"L'espace3D" describes the board and the setup

"Les déplacements" describes the moves. The diagrams are not showing up in the French original page.

"Règles originales" completes the rules

There is only a mobile phone number to contact them. I'm a bit reluctant to do it because as far as I can estimate, it looks again to people thinking to have "invented" the next big thing, unaware of previous attempts. The site is made with no care, capitalising and fonts are random, it talks about "Stanton" pieces, etc. The subtitle is "The first variant of 3D chess which is really playable". There is no explanation why previous variants were not. Every time I got in contact with an isolated "inventor" and seller of physical sets of his invention it has been a complicated time, so I prefer not to do again. As they omit to say their name, I suggest that you refer to "Anonymous Equipe 3D-Chess, Paris". If they are people interested to chessvariants, I guess they will come to that page and will react in reading our discussion.
