This game aims at extending to 3D the 2D rules and pieces influence.
The chessmen consist for each color in a double set of pieces crossing at the single king.
The variants with 'S' place the pieces initially on board Side and add the King like Dauphin piece.
The variants with '2M' allow Double Move and capture with pieces of the same kind.
- King[K] steps orthogonal, diagonal or triagonal.
- Queen[Q] slides orthogonal, diagonal or triagonal.
- Bishop[B] slides diagonal on the same color.
- Knight[N] leaps in a 2:1:0 type movement.
- Rook[R] slides orthogonal or triagonal (the only difference with normal Chess) on alternate colors.
- Pawn[P] steps one (or two on the first move) vacant forward orthogonal or triagonal (like Rook), captures one forward diagonal (like Bishop).
- Protective Pawns [PP] have been introduced to screen first level pieces from side attacks (excepted for 'S' variants).
Usual King castling, Pawns en passant capture, double initial step and promotion are allowed.
The game is won by checkmating the opponent King.
Variant Cross3DS looks like usual Chess on board side, adds the King-like but not capturable Dauphin[D] piece
Variant Cross3D2M allows double move and capture (on same kinds of piece) to compensate half-value pieces |
