According to the the World Tri Dimensional Chess Federation's rules, the starting positions illustrated here are quite correct. As they were originally created by a military fighter pilot, to help teach aerial combat tactics, in a three dimensional space, aren't they more pertinent to the original idea of 3D chess in Star Trek?
Franz Joseph admitted he wasn't really a chess player, so the Bartmess starting positions lack any real integrity.
I'd be interested in anyone else's thoughts on this.
