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...

Thank you Andrew. I also remember a scene in "Charlie X", where Charlie becomes angry/frustrated not having it his own way, and melts down the pieces with his...
Thanks James. "VaBeachGuy", pres. of startrekfans.net, just got back to me on the question and added espisode: "Whom Gods Destroy". I need to check one more...
