Chess Squared
Regular Chess is played on an 8x8
board. Chess Squared is played on an 8x8x8 board. That's the equivalent of eight
chess boards! These boards are stacked vertically, allowing a player to make any
valid chess move (with the exceptions of castling and en-passant) on any plane.
That is, you can move your piece normally, on to a board above or below, or on the
horizontal plane.
