http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/the-world-of-3d-chess/15066761http://tinyurl.com/4onkte23D Chess is the favored game of many of the most intelligent fictional characters ever created. Among its fictional players are Mr. Spock, Captain Kirk (Star Trek), Brainiac 5 (DC Comics), Reed Richards, Tony Stark (Marvel Comics), Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory). The term “Three Dimensional Chess” has become an figure of speech in English referring to anything that is hopelessly complex. Yet 3D Chess is a very real game, with very real players. In this book I hope to introduce you to the exciting world of Three Dimensional Chess, a world that I have known for over thirty years.

I actually own a 3-d based on the 2nd pilot opening but made of wood. My parents bought it from a sci-fi catalog companey outta Orlando. I think it was Intergalactic Trading Company. That would be easier than fabricating one from a globe stand as they did in the '60s

Hi try parmen.com. The download will let you play in 2 or 3d. And... it is tough.

Spock replied to Fleet Admiral S'Ran (aka) Keith's discussion "Maiden Voyage" in the group Intrepid Class Fleet
"The shuttlecraft lands at pad 2, and as promised there was a commuter waiting. Once Spock  is loaded onboard the Commuter, it takes off from Landing Pad 2 and 2 minutes later the Commuter arrives where the Silver Eagle is docked."
