I Thought The Game Is Good Fun. I may have taken hours to play but at least
the game is challanging(With a few minor modifications to the rules).

My mate and I build one out of wood and now my most of my year like
playing the game.

Just come nto possession of the 3-d chess set ... thought I knew chess!
Thank you so much for enlightening me!!!

I have a GENUINE STAR TREK Tridimensional Chess Set made by FRANKLIN MINT.
I want to sell it. Does anyone know how much it is worth and where you can sell it.

I like this game, but it will be hard to make board... Isn't there game,
created by 'Star Wars' fans? There also was shown chess variant: in
'Episode IV, A New Hope' C-3PO and Chewbaca played game on circular
board, where some wild space creatures were pieces :). By the way, it would
be interesting to remember different chess games, wich was showwn in films
or described books, and when thinked up, like this:

Clear explanations, excellent site with all the information I required.

Congratulations and thank you.

I think I have spotted one minor error.

I think that there is an error with the last diagram which shows the moves:
The path of the lower white castle should go over the far to squares of the movable/attach board, not the nearest two as shown.

Many thanks,

Norman

Just a small update on the post by Jaymes. Taking the picture shown in the article for the starting position, the left hand side is the Queens side and the right hand side is the Kings side. The Kings and Queens should be on the movable levels next to the Rooks (or Castles). The back rank on the top and bottom levels should have the Knights at each side with the two Bishops on the centre ranks. At least, this is the setup shown in the pamphlet I got with my official Star Trek Tridimensional Chess Set almost 30 years ago.

The premise for tri dimensional chess set's presence on federation star ships was to teach three dimensional combat tactics, which is something the Bartmess and Meder rules patently fail to do, by blocking circumventing moves.
The rules presented here, on chess variants, are not complete and lack rules for castling but also advocate inverted attack boards, which, if nothing else, are highly impractical.
Not only were the World Tri Dimensional Chess Federation rules written by a fighter pilot, to teach three dimensional aerial combat, which is more in keeping with the original theme, they also start the king and queen in the centre files and provide the most reasonable method for castling, as the attached images demonstrate.
