Three dimensional Chess: Kogbetliantz game. Chess on an 8 by 8 by 8 board. (8x(8x8), Cells: 512) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]In Washington,D.C. in the late 1950's, I had thought about 3-D chess and went to the Library of Congress to see what had been done. I found the 1952 Life Magazine article about Kogbetliantz and his 3-D gameboard. I built a gameboard of my own and took it to the Washington Post where it and I were photographed. SEVENTEEN Magazine picked it up under the heading of 'Teens in the News' and I got a lot of fan mail from adolescent girls. Later, I instructed the game at Georgetown and St. Louis Universities.
