While this overcomes the unequal-number-of-squares problem of Raumschach, the Change in Distance rule makes for very weak bishops, as they are already weakened by the shortness of the diagonals. The two kings also seem an unnecessary complication. I prefer Alberto Monteiro's version (last before A in 3-d index). Further thoughts on chess on this kind of board may be found on my comments on that.
