Hi Jeffery,

Welcome to the Millennium 3D Chess group*.  This is in response to your question
if a Chess^3 (i.e., Chess Cube) is the right "size" to play Millennium 3D
Chess*.

The only criteria is that you have three 8 by 8 chess boards.  The physical size
of the board or squares is not important.  Just like traditional chess, you
could play a 2D chess game on a small travel board or on a full-size tournament
board, and it wouldn't matter.

However, the only real "issue" is that you and your opponent can easily reach in
between boards to move a piece without knocking over the rest of the board. 

Personally, I use a "Strato Chess" 3D chess board to play my Millennium 3d
Chess* games as well as to log the chess games using a spreadsheet on my
cumputer with three 8 by 8 grids and chess fonts.  The Strato Chess board could
be bigger, but I can easily move the chess pieces with just-a-little-care while
reaching into the middle board.  This follows the old rule, "if the shoe [board]
fits, wear [play] it!"

About playing an email game of Millennium 3D Chess*, yes, I will be happy to
play an email game.  Would you like to play White or Black? 

Also, there is a library of previous Millennium 3D Chess* games on my web site
if you're interesting in learning strategies of others:

To other readers on this list:  I will be happy to play additional email games
of Millennium 3D Chess*, so please contact me at william_dagostino@...
with "Millennium 3D Chess*" in the subject line.

Cheers,
Will

Hello, all!



I am not sure if anyone is listening to this list anymore, but, if you

are, greetings and salutations!



I have had a Chess^3 ("Chess Cubed") set since I was a kid, but I have

never played Millennium Chess. Are Chess^3 and Millennium Chess sized

the same? I just measured my Chess^3 set, and it appears to have 1"

squares and 2 1/8" kings. Does anyone know where I can get 2 1/8" king

sized replacement pieces? The shortest I have found are 2 1/2" kings.

Will these be too big to fit on the 1" squares? Let me know what your

experiences are.



Also, let me know if anyone is up for a play-by-email game of either

Chess^3 rules or Millennium Chess rules game (or both :)). I have a .pdf

scanned in copy oan>f the rules for Chess^3, if anyone is interested. I

tried joining the Chess Club at my University (I am a returning math

grad student) but they are all too good; I lost every match decisively

and didn't learn much from any of the losses. I am hoping that since

Millennium Chess is such a novelty, I can get some opponents at my level

and can have some interesting games.



Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear from someone soon.



Sincerely,

--

Jeffrey Rolland
