3D rendering of starting position. Millennium 3D chess is a three-dimensional chess variant created by William L. d'Agostino in 2001. It employs three vertically stacked 8×8 boards, with each player controlling a standard set of chess pieces.
Chapter 11 covers variants using multiple boards normally set side by side which can also be considered to add an extra dimension to chess. [2] The expression "three-dimensional chess" is sometimes used as a colloquial metaphor to describe complex, dynamic systems with many competing entities and interests, including politics, diplomacy and ...
Many ideas of dimension can be tested with finite geometry. The simplest instance is PG(3,2), which has Fano planes as its 2-dimensional subspaces. It is an instance of Galois geometry, a study of projective geometry using finite fields. Thus, for any Galois field GF(q), there is a projective space PG(3,q) of three dimensions.
John Tenniel's illustration of Alice and the pig from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Alice is a fictional child living during the middle of the Victorian era. [2] In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), which takes place on 4 May, [nb 1] the character is widely assumed to be seven years old; [3] [4] Alice gives her age as seven and a half in the sequel, which takes place on 4 ...

After receiving an invitation to a tea party, Arisu and Aruto find themselves trapped in a different Wonderland dimension created by L. Takion. Alice, one of two almost identical girls who are in the same dimension as Takion and both named Alice, creates a cage out of vines in the Alphabet Forest (reflecting what happened in the books) that can ...
