Oh gosh ... I would certainly lose. I was pretty good in grade school and high school. I've lost a lot of momentum since! If we were to play a "friendly" game, I might have to wear layers!

Pawns up or down or forward one space, unless it is the first move. Now, consider your attack on the opponents king as from the air, or underwater. Traditional chess is difficult enough with a formidable opponent. Dimensional chess adds difficulty that I consider excessive. I love playing chess, however not a fan of dimensional chess. Have fun!

I think that I'm going to take that Star Trek three dimensional game off of my wishlist. It's very cool looking but it would be useless for me to try to play that until (unless) I get back into the swing of actually playing real chess.

Playing games such as this one on an Ipad just lacks a sense of purity. Plus, who can win against a computer? Perhaps I should try this. But I would surely lose, too! One of the joys of the game is playing another person. And even if I lose, it's still a lot of fun.

Damn....gives me that "special feeling" just thinking about it again.......maybe I should dust off my ol' chess board, too. (but I agree with Luny.....multi-dimensional chess is simply too much.....you can't enjoy a glass / bottle of great wine and the company you're with if you're having to concentrate that much.)

About five years ago, I bought a fairly decent board game for the incall and kept it there for several years. Now, it's missing a few pieces and just in the garage probably needing to be thrown out. But I had some very enjoyable times playing the game with a few men. I didn't pull out the game often but sometimes, I did.
Generally, this type of play is off the clock unless it involved some type of bet.
I think that I agree with Luny as well. I need to just get a good board and introduce the idea to a few friends. Or perhaps here!
I've been shopping for some boards. Not sure if I should get some fancy smancy board or just go for the plain one. I'm leaning towards those portable (real sized, not miniature) professional boards. They come in a carrying bag. Can carry the game around easily.
Or ... at the incall, we have a coffee table that is lacking in adornment. Maybe get a nice game and just leave it out.
Just writing and thinking out loud. I think that I could use the mental exercise of playing chess again. It's been awhile since I've played.
