Chess 5D ...?!?!

This is what I try to wrap my mind around since recently.

Haven't got it?

Then this indpth expalnation should help to see what it is about. Its a clever though diabolic variation of chess. And I admit - I suck at it so far. Compared to it, playing blind si8mulataneous chess like I sometimes did for fun at the end of my school days and earyl afetr that, was - well, more linear and thus: more easy to wrestle with. A mere memory thing. This new game here also needs a kind of imagination that I seem to lack. Its so far too far out of the box for me. Maybe I am getting old and crusty in the process of biologically petrifying.

Interesting indeed.

I'm trying to understand this 3D Star Trek chess.

Got an idea-every chess player have knowledge on correspondence chess

In this case there will be 5 chess player instead of 2.

Player 1 will have board A.....Player 5 board E.

Then it's only following the 5D chess rules.

Of the current, established variants of chess, the Japanese game of Shogi is, to me, the most impressive in its mimicry of real-life war situations; in Shogi, a captured piece, unlike in Western chess, does not simply vanish from the board permanently, since the captured piece can be reinserted into the game by the player who captured the piece as one of his/her own pieces; this was incorporated into Shogi to mimic the situations in real Japanese warfare where soldiers or armies of defeated feudal lords were given the option of changing sides/loyalties in order to survive and to also to provide the capturing lord with a source of new warriors; I've played the game a few times and it is indeed a disconcerting aspect to the game to have to keep an eye on lost pieces in addition to those still on the board and know a powerful piece you lost may, perhaps, return to be used against you...

"I assembled a death squad of queens and sent them back to the beginning of the game to assassinate the enemy king by simultaneously checkmating him across 5 different dimensions in 3 timelines."

Priceless!
