Millennium 3D Chess Millennium 3D Chess Millennium 3D Chess is a three-dimensional chess variant created by William L. D'Agostino in 2001 which employs three vertically stacked 8×8 boards, with each player controlling a standard set of chess pieces. The inventor describes his objective as "extending the traditional chess game into a multilevel environment without distorting the basic game." Millenium 3D Chess retains almost all the rules of standard chess, with additions made for the extra dimension. The three board levels are denoted "1", "2" (the middle board), and "3". Moves are recorded in the same manner as chess, using algebraic notation, with the
Rhombic Chess Parachess using the same board geometry but introducing additional ways to move: These ways to move are highlighted on the board by same-colored cells. Bibliography Rhombic Chess Rhombic Chess is a chess variant for two players created by Tony Paletta in 1980. The gameboard has an overall hexagonal shape and comprises 72 rhombi in three alternating colors. Each player commands a full set of standard chess pieces. The game was first published in "Chess Spectrum Newsletter" 2 by the inventor. It was included in "World Game Review" No. 10 edited by Michael Keller. The diagram shows the starting setup. As
