Tesselate: to fill in without leaving gaps 2D: triangles (3 sides) quadrilaterals (4 sides) hexagons (6 sides) 3D: tetrahedron (4 sides each an equilateral...
Additional notes. We are talking about reguar polygons in 2d (each side is the same length) from which it follows that 1) all interior angles equal each other...
The regular tetrahedron will not tessellate 3D space, and neither will the regular octahedron. You can tessellate 3D space with alternating tetrahedra and...
Recently, while digging through boxes of books in my storage room, I re-discovered "New Rules for Classic Games" by R. Wayne Schmittberger published in 1992 by...
For those who are interested, an implementation of 3D Hook-Move Chess is now located at the Zillions website. Playtesting this game has proven it to be rather...
Raumschach. Ugly board. Not raumschach itself, just this build of mine. I'd post a pic, but I have no digital camera. Now all I need to do is to glue the...
Just finished a game with Paul Glover in his 3D variant - Chess The Next Generation (or Dimensionalized Chess). This is a 2 board version that provides a...
Hello ! I'm a french man fond of traditional chess, and I came recently to 3D variant world by "inventing" a 8x8x8 extension of the Game, called Cross3D Chess....
Folks, Is there an XML format for representing 3D chess games? I found ChessGML (http:// www.saremba.de/chessgml/), but at first glance it appears to support...
Hello, I first started playing 3-D chess when I was 12. I developed an interest probably like most other, by watching Star Trek. I built a Tri Dimensional...
Hi David! Are you just interested in circular chess now or do you still play STAR TREK Chess as well? As even taught STAR TREK Chess, which rule variant did...

Yes, I am still interested in circular chess. Problem is nobody here plays. I still play Tri-D on the computer. As far as rules, house rules. As a kid I...
Hi Robert! About which "tri-level chess" you are talking? 8x8x3 ? 4x4x3 ? 3x3x3 ? "Star Trek Chess" ? And Robert please be aware, for each chess set there are...

Trimm, I had a lot of respect for you till you recently posted the two "new Hebrew Bible translation now available!" posts. (I don't know about about Yahoo...
I just finished reading the entire board (skimming some posts, reading others, and reading others very carefully!), and perhaps it gave me a perspective other...
How about doing 9x9x9 Shogi (piece drops and everything), but making it "Alice" play with two 9x9x9 structures. Then (for added excitement) make it a Double...
My proposals ... 1) a ST3d playboard as the New 3D Chess project playboard, with fixed (not movable) attackboards. (Perhaps the term "attackboards" can be...
I know the website lists popular 3D geometries, ST3d, 4x4x4, Raumschach (5x5x5), 8x8x3, 4x8x4, 8x8x8. But couldn't it also list more, just to document them...
Can someone help me with my questions? Q1) Has anyone proposed (and created rules for) a ST3d version with non-movable attackboards? Q2) Is there any TOS...
... The actual canon came from Franz Joseph Schnaubelt's "STARFLEET TECH MANUAL" in 1976. The TOS series didn't show them moving, but from episode to episode,...

In all of the most popular renderings (save one), the overall shape of the playboard is a "box". (4x4x4, 5x5x5, 8x8x3, 4x8x4, 8x8x8, 6x6x6, these are all...
I don't know, man. It seems to me that if the attackboards don't move, it isn't really Star Trek. Indeed, the most common complaint against the Franklin Mint...
(I know it's been asked before, but I don't recall seeing an answer ...) Someone here just HAS to have the complete list of TOS episodes which show the ST3d...
