About this model

This is a 3D chessboard inspired by Star Trek, including a matching set of low profile chess pieces. It can be disassembled and transported easily. See instructions for required materials and assembly notes. For "standard" rules of play, and the most easy-to-follow explanation of the game I have found, I refer you to Charles Roth's site at Additionally, there is a slightly different set of "tournament" rules maintained by Jens Meder at Thanks for pointing out the "tournament" rules goes to Doug Keenan, Doug also has created an excellent 3D (and 2D) chess program called Parmen, available along with many other related resources at Note that this design does not allow attack board inversions... so you can just play without inversions. Enjoy!
