According to the regulation tridimensional chess rules the board setup listed on this site were not correct. The setup of the board is:
Black/Gold (lower levels going from the outtermost edges toward the 'middle' or towards White/Silver):
Attack board 1:
Outside: Rook | Pawn
Inside: King | Pawn
Attack board 2:
Inside: Queen | Pawn
Outside: Rook | Pawn
Main board lower level starting from attack board 1 side going toward attack board 2 side:
Knight | Pawn
White/Clear Bishop | Pawn
Black/Blue Bishop | Pawn
Knight | Pawn
White/Silve (upper levels going from the outtermost edges toward the 'middle' or towards Black/Gold):
Attack board 3 (top of set in the same line as attack board 1):
Outside: Rook | Pawn
Inside: King | Pawn
Attack board 4 (top of set in the same line as attack board 2):
Inside: Queen | Pawn
Outside: Rook | Pawn
Main board upper level starting from attack board 3 side going toward attack board 4 side:
Knight | Pawn
Black/Blue Bishop | Pawn
White/Clear Bishop | Pawn
Knight | Pawn
In summary the knights go where the bishops are, the bishops go where the king/queen are, and the king/queen go where the knights are...in the sketch on this site.
