3D chess is an example of a chess variant.
Three-dimensional chess has existed since
the late 19th century. One of the oldest is
Raumschach (German for space chess),
Raumschach was invented in 1907 by
Ferdinand Maack it was played on an array of
5 x 5 x 5 boards. Maack founded a
Raumschach club in Hamburg in 1919, which
remained active until the Second World War.
Probably the most familiar 3D chess variant of
the 20th century, and early part of the 21st
century, is Tri-Dimensional Chess from the
Star Trek television series and movies.

During the latter part of the twenty first century
there have been many variants of chess (and 3D
chess) created, however, a majority of these
innovative and highly imaginative games were
developed primarily for the internet and the
video game market. Though standard chess is
still prominently being played in clubs,
tournaments and schools, will 3D chess has yet
to make a prominent presence in these venues.

It has been a dream of mine to someday see 3D
chess with a more prevalent presence in the
chess universe. I had watched and waited with
giddy anticipation through the better part of
my teen years waiting to see if 3D chess would
ever be featured in any of the chess
tournaments I used to watch. Even though I
was never a big fan of chess, probably because
I was just a modest player, but I still had hoped
and dreamed to someday see chess players
scrutinizing over a multilevel chess array, an
actual 3D chess set!
But it has never come to pass.
So, decided I would create one, and after
many years of trials and tribulations, I created
-- The Tower: 3D Chess Set.
I hope someday that The Tower: 3D Chess Set
will become the quintessential three
dimensional/multilevel chess set for the world
wide chess community.

The Tower: 3D Chess Set is truly a marvel of
construction and design, t will be made of oak
wood and comprised of sixteen (16) interlocking
pieces: a base, eight arms and eight platforms.
The individual pieces will socket together freely
requiring nether skill, nor tools. Once
assembled the eight levels and tiers will rotate
and revolve independently 360' in either
direction; and the eight platforms will
accommodate a variety of chess boards up to 16”
x 16” and pieces with a King up to 4.75” in
height; moreover, The Tower: 3D Chess Sets will
stand a mere 3' 6” tall.

| Although The Tower: 3D Chess Set will be marketed as a standalone device, and will not require the purchase of boards, pieces, or rules; I decided to create a variant of my own called; The Tower Siege Game, and the Basic Rules Of Three Dimensional/ Multilevel Chess. Bear in mine that this is my own interpretation of 3D chess, unlike standard chess, It presupposes 3D chess as a multilevel tower siege. Try it at your own risk! But if you do (and whether you like it or not) me an email and tell me all about! |
