3D chess Idea

Hello!

I have a chess variant idea that is based on the third demension, If you have a question or want more detail, please comment, if you believe that the game might be unfair to white or black, please give constructive feedback, Also, i would like a comment giving piece values.

How did you Turn chess into a 3D game??

It's simple really, Take 8 seperate chess Boards, With each chess board as a new "floor" left to right, usually a 3d object has these "floors" above each other, but since doing that will be difficult, And that you don't need to do that, You can use 8 chess side to side to indicate it, so it's a 8×8×8 cube.

Ok..But where do the pieces start?

The white pieces start as they would in the bottom board, While black start as they would in the Top board.

What about Notation..?

The new addition to Notation is that the floor which holds the destination square is represented by a superscript number.

For example: Qh7⁴ means the player played Qh7 in floor 4

Alright, but wait..How do the pieces move?

This section is very complicated, so listen up.

Let's first determine the rook since it's the easiest piece to explain.

The rook can move Orthogonally as it can in 2D, but it can also move upwards or downwards to a new floor on the same square, for example: a Rook on g4³ can move to g4⁶ or g4¹ if there are no Pieces in its way 

The bishop can diagonally as it can in 2d, but it also can also move forward or backward Diagonally, So basically:

A bishop on e4⁴ can move to d5⁵, f5⁵, d3⁵, f3⁵; c6⁶, c2⁶, g6⁶, g2⁶ etc if the path is not Blocked, it can also move backwards like this.

Queen: the combination of Rook and Bishop, not much to say about this one.

King: basically Rook and bishop only limited to one square, Not much to say about this one.

Pawn: The pawn promotes when reaching the opponent's backrank on the top/bottom floor, it can move one square to upwards/downwards based on if you're black or white, like a restricted rook, and it captures the two forward facing diagonal Squares upwards/downwards, like restricted Bishop, and it can move two squares upwards/downwards on its first move

Note about en passant: En passant can also happen in the third dimension, on another note: Castling is legal but can only be done in 2D.

Knight - The is the most complicated piece,  So,  it can either: move 2 squares upwards or downwards, Then it can land on the adjacent square sideways, or it can move two squares forward/backwards on the Floor, Then land on the square above or below it.

For example: A knight on d6⁷ can move to c6⁵, or f6⁸ etc.

Como eu faço para jogar esse jogo

Por favor, fale em inglês (esta tradução foi feita pelo Google Tradutor).

Translation: Where do I play this game

Well, I haven't created an application for it, but you can play it physically if you have 8 boards and a set of pieces to your name.

Wtf??
