Hi Matt,
I knew I would awaken some sleeping giants in the chess field when I posted this thread. I was a chess champ at high school. Even gave the Juniour State Champ a run for his money.
We never finished the games. So it was never decided.
3D chess is new to me. I was never really into chess like the state champ was. 3D is just a more complex form of the game. It is however a gimmick that the promoters hoped would pay off. That is how I feel about it.
I believe it failed to perform because geeks are few and far between. It was something that geeks would be interested in. Most people would not see any entertainment value in it. Their capacity for such a mind bending challenge is inadequate and therefore leaving it to the "astrologists"...Oops, astronomers. Tee hee.
Cheers
