unique chess boards
I was asked about the Star Trek boards and other types of boards in my vast collection.
Here are 2 examples of boards I've had for years,incase someone wants to purchase the unusual.My Star Trek board is fancier than the one in the website,but then so was the price.This one is much more affordable.As mentioned,in 3D chess you can get attacked with traditional 2D movement,or from above or below,so your mind has to visualize the game in 3D.

On the 3 man chess board,conventional movement rules apply but with some variations in protocol and mates,as you can read in the rules attached to that website.
Imagine a 3 player game on GK or a Star Trek 3D game on GK with the proper installed graphics on this site,or perhaps your computer?...that would be interesting to say the least!

Of course,the 3 man board as shown in Wiki,may be easier and somewhat more realistic to play on,but the board below I do not have yet.Rules vary,depending upon the type of 3 man board constructed.

hmmm..one player can possibly checkmate two opponents at the same time!

Three-player chess...
I love the look of the circular three-way chess set!

That looks like fun! Three-way chess would make it a lot more interesting on GK for sure  

I also saw a 4-player chess thing on Youtube... or rather, a 2-vs-2 chess thing on Youtube...
