Talk:Three-dimensional chess

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

  • Isn't it called the Aldebaran exchange and not "Aldebran exchange"? --BlueMars 14:03, Aug 30, 2004 (CEST)
  • Why is this called Three-dimensional chess instead of Tri-Dimensional Chess? "3-D" chess would be played on an 8x8x8 grid (cube) with the pieces moving horizontally and/or vertically. But Tri-D chess is a very different game, more of a multi-level 2-D variant. I also thought that this game has always been referred to as "Tri-Dimensional Chess" in the Trek-verse. -- Stekev 05:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I think this page could do with an overhaul, there are a few variants featured through the series, including the one featuerd in the TNG episode 'Menage å Troi' which is a common variant available from chess shops. Lt.Lovett 18:26, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article needs research

The info in the Setup and Play sections seems to be mostly speculation and/or paraphrasing of background material. If I am wrong and all of this stuff is canon then the article needs some citations.--Hribar 01:05, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
