GrandChess. The ultimate 3-dimensional version of Chess
I am not an ultimate programmer but once i program 8 player chess (which is 128 pieces and i would say engies would take time with that too) i can try programming this

Really, TheUltraTrap? It's easy to find chess enthusiasts and good programmers; not so easy finding people who are both. The best way of playing this is surely on virtual animations or online playing platforms. If you want to take this task, let's keep contacts for details, etc.
I am currently addicted to 8pc but i think i can help later. It will be complicated to get good graphics for 3D thins but i will try when i end 8pc
I can do apps and someone else can do the website, i suggest to set up a database for us and use it to talk too.

what
this is too hard
i dare you to become a 100 rated player in this. (imagine getting 161660 rating )

GMCheong, I saw that but I noticed that:
1. it is not a 3-D version; 2. it has a space in between. My name is GrandChess in one word.
Anyway I checked the name and it is not patented.

KnockKnockItstheFBI . In the physical game I use a pair of long kitchen tongs to avoid messing up the grandpieces. In virtual animation that issue does not occur.

GrandChess is the ultimate upgrading of Chess in 3 dimensions, with the same rules as the 2-dimensional chess game but much greater degree of complexity. This is indeed a game fit for the GrandMasters' minds.
There are 512 cubic boxes instead of 64 squares. 128 grand-pieces for each player instead of the 16 pieces. The GrandChess framework contains 24 planes that are equivalent to a chessboard. Each grand-piece is positioned on 3 such planes; you can move it on any of the three chessboards; so playing a GrandChess game is very much similar to playing a simul on 24 chessboards against a single opponent.
Huge numbers of opportunities, positions and variants. An immense space opening up for larger openings theory. In Chess you can reach 400 different positions after White and Black's first move. In GrandChess the positions are 40,000 only after first move.
Some people say Chess is going to be "solved". I.e. one day a chess engine, a learning machine or quantum computer will tell us that the starting position is a win (or a draw) whatever we play. Playing chess will then loose any interest. It'll only be a matter of memorizing the right sequence.
This is my gift for free to all Chess enthusiasts. So if Chess will ever be solved you can go on playing GrandChess while the engines are going to have indeed a hard time solving this one too.
Here are some explanatory videos, but the rules are the same as Chess: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOeIXNTxzW_IC1T1Mlxolew/videos
Only exception: castling is made in two moves (pre-castling and castling), due to the three dimensions.
Waiting for good programmers who can make it onto online platforms and maybe we will play it on Chess.com too.
