OK. However, some people are known to take games seriously even at 21
or 121 :-)

A 3d version of chess that I played on a board made with plastic
pieces had a similar structure, where the "middle" board was thought
of as vertically between the other two and pieces could move in the
vertical direction as well.
Another 3d variant of chess has 7 boards.
What constitutes a "'proper' 3d chess experience"?
Having said this, I must confess that I am not volunteering to adopt
3dchess :-(

Kapil.
