ChrisWitham wrote on Fri, May 17, 2002 05:36 PM UTC:Good ★★★★This is more or less an overview of the rules, for the full rules you have to pay. If you are intrested in them go to Andrew Bartmess' page linked to under the notes.

Michael, Ottawa CA wrote on Fri, Nov 8, 2002 12:48 AM UTC:Excellent ★★★★★Considering how there is limited amounts concerning the subject-This is a great site, well designed. Informative, and has that traditional 'chess' feel, though it concerns 3D chess. For the full basic rounded picture. Lets not forget the links also-great job!

John M. Debevec wrote on Fri, Dec 13, 2002 11:04 PM UTC:I own a copy of this chess set from the Franklin Mint. It was pricey, but it is a gem. It looks damn good sitting in the corner of my office. The playability is questionable, since the multiple levels make one's ears bleed. The chess set came with playing instructions, but I bought it more for display and as a conversation piece. What can I say... I'm a rabid Trekkie!
Francis Maxino wrote on Sat, Dec 28, 2002 07:55 AM UTC:Good ★★★★It would be wonderful if the full rules of tri-dimensional chess could be explained in more detail, from experimentation it appears highly plausible that it is possible to play it as a serious game.
quick note: web page for Andrew Bartmess and tridim chess has changed to http://www.grigor.org/tactical.htm

Seamus wrote on Thu, Apr 10, 2003 06:40 AM UTC:Good ★★★★In your diagram illustrating the possible rook moves, two of the moveable boards are not above or below corners. It's implied from your written description that the moveable boards can only occupy spaces above or below corner squares of the 4x4 boards. Is this a mistake or have I misunderstood something? Seamus

Lauren wrote on Sun, Jul 13, 2003 07:01 PM UTC:I have the tri-D chess set from franklin mint. There is TOS version and a TNG version. The TOS version has 4 2X2 movable boards where as the TNG board has 6. I own the TOS one but I do not think franklin mint is selling them anymore. I managed to find a set of rules made in the 70's in one of the Star Trek Giant Poster Books. I belive it is volume 14 that has the rules in it. There is also a version of tri-d chess that you can play against a computer at this site. http://members.lycos.co.uk/cmparkin/goodies.htm
Hi, For rules written by Anderw Bartmess, same person who wrote them for the Poster Book, look here: http://www.grigor.org/startrek.htm
