As someone who actually found out about these pages while searching for 3d
nomenclature I have always found it odd that anyone should want to go to
four or more dimensions. We experience the world in just three spatial
dimensions, so that's the most in which an accurate game board can be
built. It is no accident that most 3d variants, including most of my own
cubic ones, are designed for relatively few board sizes - 5x5x5, 8x4x4,
8x8x3, 6x6x6, 8x8x4, 8x8x8. They gravitate toward boards that might already
have been built for some other game. This is one of the reasons why I have
never considered 4 or more dimensions, either for my own variants or for
piece names. Has anyone ever had a successful game of a 4d variant?
I hope that Redistribution 3d Chess is a bit more than a 'name game' - a
3d contribution to the Short-range project, at least. Or are you referring
to my recent process of moving 3d pieces round the alphabet in Man and
Beast 18?
