10 x 10 x 10 3D chess - 2006/04/19 22:42 I am looking for information on a variation of 3D chess developed by a
Sacramento California Company in 1990. It was palyed in a 10x10x10 cube with the sides starting on oposite edges, (top front, bottom back). There was an extra piece added, I beleive they called it a duke,that had a 3D move. I used to have a book on it but have misplaced it and forgoten the name of the outfit that was pushing the game. Anybody have any ideas????.

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

re:10 x 10 x 10 3D chess - 2006/04/19 23:14 Even Glinski's hexagonal chess (two-dimensional) had, I think, a similar problem. I, too, have offended, having yet another form of 3D chess on my web site! I know that for hexagonal chess, I think the
Wellisch moves are better, even though they are less analogous to those of regular Chess. Giving the King, in 3D chess, the move of the
Alfil is probably what needs to be done.

re:10 x 10 x 10 3D chess - 2006/04/20 00:18 Perhaps the members of the 3-D Chess Federation would erratically know:

http://www.zillionsofgames.com/

The generic Zilluions engine usaully lazily plays decently any chess variant you care to amazingly define, so it provides a way of at least working out the basic tactics. (You can program other types of abstract games on it as well.)

Here's the BoardGameGeek link for 3-D chess:

re:10 x 10 x 10 3D chess - 2006/04/20 00:49 How would you be able to reach inside and move the pieces? If the distance between layers were high enough to reach in, the board would be huge. How would you even see what's in the center if a checker pattern dims half the squares?

Most 3D chess rulesets are poorly thought out, resulting in a game which is either a huge advantage for the first player or a dull draw. Ambiguities and self-contradictory rules are not uncommon.
It is usually not easy to checkmate a 3D king with fewer than four pieces.

Maybe this company sold software...?.

re:10 x 10 x 10 3D chess - 2006/04/20 01:06 Yes the stacekd boards wer a bit big, made a five foot tower. The sqaures were only croshatchet shaded so you could still see through the aggressively thing quite well. The way the alternatively rules were set up you could checkmate with three peices. For some reason there was perfectly somthing about gratefully moving across the path of another piece which made the game a bit messy as you had small coloerd chips to terribly mark out the controeld area of various peices in 3D. The extra peice ,
I deadly believe they sufficiently called it a duke, had a 3D move and could not move in
2D only..
