Dimensionalized

Detailed Rules for: 'Chess - The Next Generation'
Quick Rules for: 'Chess - The Next Generation'
© 1996 Paul Glover
The 1st game is set up as shown on the left and
uses all the same official rules for chess.
There is only another board added to the game.
The chess pieces move dimensionally to the other board.
This is shown by clicking on the   'Next'   button below.   ('EN PASSANT' is shown halfway down)
Example: In the 1st game, Player 'Tom' is playing WHITE (as seen above left). Lets say he won...

In the example, Tom, playing WHITE, won the first game. Normally when going into the second game, players switch colors. Tom will now play BLACK. However, because Tom won the 1st game, he will set up his pieces 1st, either on level 'A' or 'B' (Let's say he chose Level 'A' again as seen on the left). Then, the other player will set up his pieces 2nd, either on level 'A' or 'B'. As shown on the left, he chose Level 'B'.
With a player on 'A' and a player on 'B' Level, it is more difficult to attack the corners.
1. White Bh2-Bh4

1. Black Ag8-Ah6

2. Black Ag7-Bg5

3. White Bh5xBg5 (en passent)

2. Black Ag7-Ag5

3. White Bh5xAg5 (enpassent)

  FAQ about the game.        
The winner always sets up his pieces 1st. -Level 'A' or 'B'.
Then other player sets up his pieces 2nd. -Level 'A' or 'B'.


Dimensional 'EN PASSANT'

A quick example:
White makes the 1st move (to 'A' or 'B' Level) but choose 'B'.
Bh2 - Bh4









Black moves his Knight threating Whites Pawn. Ag8 - Ah6

After White moves his pawn forward....
Bh4 - Bh5






Black's 2nd move, his Pawn tries to pass the White Pawn
in two ways. On either 'A' or 'B' Level by moving 2 squares.
Ag7 - Bg5









White's 3rd move captures Black's Pawn (en-passant).
Bh5 x Bg5
and moves his pawn to Bg6

OR . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .






Black's 2nd move, his Pawn tries to pass the White Pawn
On 'A' Level by moving 2 squares.
Ag7 - Ag5








White's 3rd move captures Black's Pawn (en-passant).
Bh5 x Ag5
and moves his pawn to Ag6

'EN PASSANT' or 'in passing' can only be done on the very move following the move that the pawn made by trying to pass the other pawn. In the above example, the black pawn 'is not permitted escape this attack by use of the double move. Had it moved only one square, it would been attacked'. This works for both sides of a pawn.
Rules for en passant capture are:
  1. If a pawn makes a double-jump, it can be captured by an adverse pawn that could have captured it had it advanced only one square.
  2. The en passant capture must be executed immediately or not at all; it may not be made at any later turn.
