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]

The first solution to Problem # 2 arrived shortly after the problem was posted... 
but it is  a wrong try.  It reads, 'I haven't solved problem one yet, but in
problem two, white can win by moving his crab to dimension [X] and
checkmating with queen on h8.' 

Response: It is very important to remember that you win by capturing the
enemy King... check mate has no meaning in this game.  And you can't wait
until your next turn to take his King because, as Black states in the
problem, he will move his Crab to Dimension X and use his Cobra to win.' 
(by Spitting on your King no less, the ultimate chess insult).

Best regards to all.
