Dimension X. Chess on two planes - one with the usual chess pieces, the other with spooky trans-dimensional pieces with strange interactions. (2x(8x8), Cells: 128) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

An incorrect solution to the Dimension X problem was recently sent to me. I will mention part of it as to remove that potential stumbling block from the path of others. The player stated he would start with the Spitting Cobra spitting on Black's Spider, killing it. This would free up the White King to escape from Black's deadly Cobra. However, White's Cobra action is illegal in this position. Reason: The Cobra is adjacent to the Black Spider, and therefore cannot function (a spider-web type effect mentioned in the rules.) If the Cobra was 2 direct spaces away, that action could have been performed.
