A 3D strategy chess variant played across seven interconnected boards. Reposition attack boards mid-game to open new lines of attack across levels, or challenge NeuralTick AI — an optional local AI that comments on moves and weighs in on move choice in four languages, or play locally with a friend.
Think Beyond the Board
Star Tri-D Chess is a modern take on the legendary concept of three-dimensional chess.
Here, calculating moves on a single plane isn't enough. The playing space consists of seven interconnected boards, and mobile attack boards constantly reshape the geometry of the battlefield. Every move can open new lines of attack, reshape the strategy of the entire game, and force you to see the position in a completely new way.
Classical chess teaches you to control the board. Star Tri-D Chess teaches you to control space.
An Opponent Who Talks Back
At its core, the game runs on its own chess engine. It has nothing to do with neural networks, never sends anything anywhere, and works exactly like any other classic chess AI — it just calculates moves.
On top of that, you can optionally turn on NeuralTick AI — a local language model that runs entirely on your own device, with no internet connection required, toggled on or off anytime with a single switch.
When it's on:
- Comments on key moves out loud — its own and yours — right as they happen
- Helps pick between several strong options instead of just blindly calculating
- Speaks 4 languages: English, Русский, Español, 中文 — switch anytime, even mid-game
Not a fan of AI commentary? Just leave the option off and play against the plain engine, like in any other 3D chess game.
No other 3D chess game gives you an opponent like this — but whether to use it is always your call.

- 7 boards, one living playing space
- Attack boards reshape your strategy on the fly
- Combinations across levels — things regular chess simply can't do
