ABSTRACT:
A multi-level chess game for three-dimensional play comprises an odd-numbered plurality of chessboards, means for arranging the chessboards in vertical spaced relation to one another, a pair of conventional sets of standard chess pieces, and at least one pair of supplemental sets of additional chess pieces. The most preferred embodiment of the invention includes only three chessboards and only one pair of supplemental sets of additional chess pieces, with the latter initially positioned on the uppermost chessboard, with the conventional sets of standard chess pieces initially positioned on the lowermost chessboard, and with the intermediate chessboard initially vacant. Rules for play of the game are also disclosed, including rules for movement of the chess pieces from one chessboard to another.
