Game with pieces hanging over the board
By admin on Aug 03, 2010 with Comments 0
Flying chess is a three dimensional chess variant. It uses the three dimensional chessboard with size of 8*8*2 having 128 cells. It was developed in 1984. This game usually uses markers for denoting the ‘flying’ pieces or can use a secondary board. Sometimes there may be two boards used for representing the upper and lower layer.
The pieces have their initial position as in standard chess. But the move for the pieces is different from them. Some of the pieces are marked as ‘flying pieces’. They are the rook, knight and bishop. The remaining pieces, the king, queen and pawns are not allowed to go to the upper level. If a piece in lower level has an opponent piece in the same square of higher level then it can consume it without moving.
