...have over the years developed variations that make the game even more complex. In one version called Capablanca Concentric Chess, the pieces move in spiraling arcs around a circular board. A number of three-dimensional chess games have also made their appearance, including one invented by Russian-born Mathematician Ervand G. Kogbetliantz that was so bewildering that it never really caught on; it is played on an eight-tiered board with 64 pieces to a side. Now, working independently, two other buffs have devised chesslike games for three players, all competing at the same time. Both encourage the formation...
...Manhattan, Dr. Ervand George Kogbetliantz, 63, a mathematics professor, announced plans for a course at the New School for Social Research. The subject: three-dimensional chess. The game is played on eight glass boards arranged in stories (see NEWS IN PICTURES) ; the chess pieces move through 512 cubes. To retain the mathematical opportunity for a checkmate provided by the 64 squares in ordinary chess, Kogbetliantz has added new pieces. The resulting line-up on each side: a king, a queen, two "archbishops" and 40 pawns, which may move through three dimensions; four rooks, two knights, four bishops and two "favorites...
