help Millennium 3D Chess FAQ

Who created Millennium 3D Chess, and how is the board arranged?

William L. D'Agostino created Millennium 3D Chess in 2001. It uses three vertically stacked boards, each measuring 8 by 8 squares, while both players still control standard chess armies. [Variant reference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_3D_chess)

What is the objective in Millennium 3D Chess?

The objective remains checkmate, just as in standard chess. The difference is that the king and other pieces can attack or escape across three board levels instead of one 8 by 8 plane. [Inventor's rules](https://www.oocities.org/william_dagostino/millennium_3d_chess.pdf)

How do pieces move between levels in Millennium 3D Chess?

Every piece can move normally on one board, but each piece also receives a special vertical movement rule. For example, a knight can move one board up or down with two lateral squares, or two boards with one lateral square. [Variant rules](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_3D_chess)

How are moves recorded in Millennium 3D Chess?

The notation adds the board level before the ordinary square, so a move such as 2g3 means g3 on the middle board. The three levels are numbered 1, 2, and 3 because the same square name exists on all three boards. [Inventor's rules](https://www.oocities.org/william_dagostino/millennium_3d_chess.pdf)
