I found this website that you can actually play 3 dimensional chess(like in star trek):
And it is open-source, you can see the source code on GitHub:

I never played this game, but in college, I invented a 4-dimensional chess game; and no, that was not a misprint.
Still need to buy one

As a Chess player and science fiction fan I have long been fascinated by the Tri-D Chess board as shown in the Star Trek series. The board looks really cool! I see that actual rules have been invented for this imaginary game and you can even buy the 3D board (rather pricey). Now regular chess is complicated enough for me, but just curious if anyone here has played this variant and what they think of it as compared to regular chess? Will it really help in 3 dimensional tactical thinking in case I am ever fighting a space war? Where can I play tri-d chess
I got a new Star Trek 3D Chess set. I'm having a hard time figuring out where I can play it online

Have you ever played using the World Tri Dimensional Chess Federation rules, Eric.
They were written by a fighter pilot, to help teach three dimensional aerial combat.

Does anyone know the name of the chess pieces set used? Especially the one that has horizontal stacks for the bishop. I figured the pieces used were purchased, and not created especially for the show.

It's a Peter Ganine design. They show up from time to time on eBay and etsy but are very pricey.
