Recently Derek and I have discussed this topic of the power of the 3D piece. He thought that this might be a good line of discussion for the Group. Everyone...
I like the solution DeAgustino came up with in his Millenium* Chess rules. These rules give both the Rook, Queen and King a "sliding" move identical to that of...
Even allowing the 3D Queen to have orthogonal, diagonal AND triagonal slides does not equate it to the power, basic territorial control, of its 2D counterpart....
The mathematical laws governing the density of the attack power of chess pieces (of unlimited range with straight line movement) with distance are virtually...
the expectation that 3D pieces have the same general value as they did in 2D is an artificial expectation ... 3D is what it is ... i've played a lot of 8x8x8...

very good comments, i'll have to disagree with you on the 3D rook thing. i've played a lot 3D8 and i can honestly tell you that the game would lose great value...

Here's an idea for a non-complex 3D piece: it can step to any vacant adjacent cell and cannot be captured. This piece would be merely an obstacle on the 3D...

I agree that a 3D game will often take more moves than a 2D game. But what would be considered a "good" number of turns? 100? 200? 300? 400?? But another...
