Three-Dimensional Chess Game

Strato Chess moves the classic board game into three planes of space, requiring players to think vertically as well as horizontally. The suspended pieces create attack vectors from above and below that do not exist in standard chess. This version is designed for children, teenagers, and adults who want a deeper spatial challenge.

Brushed Aluminium Board With Clear Levels

The board stands 12 high and uses brushed aluminium with black and clear playing surfaces to separate the three tiers. The transparent layers let players see piece positions on every level at a glance. No extra software or accessories are included; the physical components alone deliver the rule change.

Multi-Colour Pieces For Mixed-Age Play

Unisex, multi-colour pieces suit a wide age range without needing separate sets. The aluminium frame resists warping and keeps the three 8x8 grids rigid during play. No mounting hardware is required, so the game sits on any flat surface and stores upright when not in use.

Questions about this item

How do I clean the brushed-aluminium frame and clear playing surfaces without scratching them?

Wipe the aluminium and clear acrylic tiers with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water; avoid abrasive cleaners or paper towels that can mar the brushed finish.

Will the 12-inch vertical stack become unstable during long matches?

The tiered boards lock into the central aluminium spine, keeping all three 8×8 levels rigid even when pieces are moved vigorously across the full height.

Does the set generate any heat or noise if left assembled for days?

No electronic components are present, so the game produces zero heat and makes no sound beyond the click of pieces being placed.
