Today we are still trying to understand the mind-boggling game that chess is, with tactics, postional play, pawn structure, and a load of other ideas. The concept of 3D chess alredy exists in the famous TV series: Star Trek

But now, try to comprehend the idea of playing chess in a dimension we don't even exist in! That's right, a 4D chess set has been created! You can watch the design of the set here (time stamp 6:27) and game which according to my fabulous research (NO IT"S NOT MERELY CHECKING THE FIRST PAGE OF GOOGLE RESULTS for the term "4D chess"), has not been done before. Chess.com needs to update it's chess variants soon!

Interesting video. I probably would have paid more attention if I wasn’t being distracted by some hot blond in tight jeans and a green t-shirt. It sure made science more fun.

guys, I have been programming this for a little while, it is 4d chess on an array of 2-d boards, it is still in progress, but you can move pieces.

in order for the 4 Dimensional chess game to work our board would need to be shortened to a 4^4 because an 8 by 8 in the 4th dimension would be too incomprehensibly big as one 4 by 4 board would be 256 spaces but 8 as in our standard would be 4096 squares each board making 64 squares so we need 64 boards to make that yes I just put out a nerdy statement but do you want to make the game last for months do you?
