Abstract

The o. G. Invention is characterized (main claim) that - at those 4 of the total 12 edges of the cube, where not light on dark fields (but same color fields on each other) meet, an interruption of the chess field structure arises, and that this by the clearly visible spielfeldbegrenzende edge reinforcement At these 4 edges of the cube, a non-consistent cross-border check pattern with broken diagonals is avoided, and instead a playing field edge is displayed at these 4 edges. - At those 8 of the total 12 edges of the cube, where bright meet dark fields, no interruption of the chess field structure at the respective edge arises and is omitted at these 8 edges on thickening or reinforcements, here the impression of a continuous and on the To obtain the edge of the chess field, and thus no boundaries of the field boundaries are marked on these 8 edges and the structure of the playing field is continued over the edges with dark and light diagonals. This allows the continuation of the checkerboard pattern beyond the edge of the cube to the next page in the sense of a consistent check pattern across all edges. By the combination of the gimbal of the full cube, the inner axis of which passes through opposite corners of the cube and through its center of gravity, together with the previously described design of the edges of the chess fields, a freely orientable 6-sided three-dimensional chess field is formed for 6 pairs of chess teams, with 2 sides without field-limiting edge reinforcement and 4 sides, each with 2 field-limiting edge reinforcements, with a continuous, stretched over 8 edges, consistent checkerboard structure consists of each of the two sides without spielfeldbegrenzende edge reinforcement to the other sides. The advantages achieved with the new invention are: - Enabling a 3-dimensional chess game with 6 chess team pairs. - in particular, the combination of 4 chess team colors with 3 chess teams per color, with all 6 possible combinations Color1-Color2, Color1-Color3, Color1-Color4, Color2-Color3, Color2-Color4, Color3-Color4; Thus, 4 people can simultaneously play chess against each other. ...

Description

Gantry-mounted full cubes for a chess set, each with an 8 × 8 chess field surface on each side, with which each of the 6 chess-field sides provided with ferromagnetic or other temporary chess fixture mechanisms can be positioned horizontally at the top and all 6 sides have a three-dimensional and 8 of 12 edges form a comprehensive chess field.

Technical area:

• Construction to enable a 3-dimensional chess game with 6 chess teams pairs

State of the art:

Defects of this design:

• • The o. G. Patent does not refer to a game of chess, but to a mill game
• • The o. G. Patent refers to a fixed (vertical) axis of rotation through opposite cube corners, the cube faces are thus always at an angle.
• • The edges between the side surfaces are chamfered and form so-called connecting surfaces, which contain common elements of the side surfaces; the number of field elements of the dice is thus less than the sum of those of 6 flat board games.

• – Bekannt ist hier das Patent US 5 860 651 A (Anmelder Fierro, Jose V., 10.03.1997).

It is further known that full cube with chess field surfaces can be used on the sides for the realization of 3-dimensional chess games.

Lack of this design:

• • The o. G. Patent refers to a 4x4 chess field on each cube side, but not an 8x8 chess field
• • The o. G. Patent refers to a fixed (vertical) axis of rotation through opposite cube corners, the cube faces are thus always at an angle.
• • The chess cube is described as a "borderless chess game board", the problem of edges with fields of the same color, eg. B. with regard to diagonal movements on a color is not considered.
• - The patent is known here CN 201 052 402 Y (Applicant Nishang Jiang, 29.01.2007).

Lack of this design:

• • The o. G. Patent refers to a fixed axis of rotation through opposing cube faces, the two pierced cube faces are not available as horizontally positionable sides.
• • The problem of edges with fields of the same color, z. B. with regard to diagonal movements on a color is not considered.
• - The patent is known here DE 34 38 151 A1 (Applicant H. Hoppe, 18.10.1984).

Lack of this design:

• • The o. G. Patent refers to a cube which rests with one side on the ground. Thus, no figures can be located on the support surface.
• • The problem of edges with fields of the same color, z. B. with regard to diagonal movements on a color is not considered.

Achieved benefits:

• – die Ermöglichung eines 3-dimensionalen Schachspiels mit 6 Schachmannschafts-Paaren.
• – hiermit insbesondere die Ermöglichung der Kombination von 4 Schachmannschafts-Farben mit 3 Schachmannschaften je Farbe, mit allen 6 möglichen Kombinationen Farbe1-Farbe2, Farbe1-Farbe3, Farbe1-Farbe4, Farbe2-Farbe3, Farbe2-Farbe4, Farbe3-Farbe4; somit können 4 Personen simultan gegeneinander Schach spielen.
• – die Vermeidung eines nicht-konsistenten kantenübergreifenden Karomuster mit unterbrochenen Diagonalen aufgrund der deutlich sichtbaren spielfeldbegrenzenden Kantenverstärkung an denjenigen 4 der insgesamt 12 Kanten des Würfels, an denen nicht helle auf dunkle Felder (sondern gleichfarbige Felder aufeinander) treffen.
• – die Ermöglichung, 2 der 3 Mannschaften einer Farbe zu Spielbeginn Rücken an Rücken an einer Kante ohne Kantenverstärkung zu positionieren, sowie die 3. Mannschaft einer Farbe mit dem Rücken an eine spielfeldbegrenzende Kantenverstärkung zu positionieren. Der Begriff Rücken einer Schachmannschaft zu Spielbeginn soll hierbei die jeweilige Grundlinie kennzeichnen.
• – Zusammenfassend ist somit ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung, dass hiermit 4 Spieler simultan gegeneinander spielfeldübergreifend Schach spielen können, wobei • die freie Orientierung der kardanischen Aufhängung den Überblick erleichtert, • die Konstruktion der 4 Kantenverstärkungen sowohl nicht-konsistente kantenübergreifenden Karomuster mit unterbrochenen Diagonalen verhindert als auch Spielfeldrand für die Aufstellung der jeweils 3. Mannschaft einer Farbe bietet, • durch die Möglichkeit der Aufstellung Rücken-an-Rücken und Rücken-an-Kante ein dem klassischen Schachspiel ähnlich geschützter Aufstellungsrahmen zu Spielbeginn geboten werden kann.

The advantages achieved with the new invention are

• - Enabling a 3-dimensional chess game with 6 chess team pairs.
• - in particular, the combination of 4 chess team colors with 3 chess teams per color, with all 6 possible combinations Color1-Color2, Color1-Color3, Color1-Color4, Color2-Color3, Color2-Color4, Color3-Color4; Thus, 4 people can simultaneously play chess against each other.
• - The avoidance of a non-consistent cross-border check pattern with broken diagonal due to the clearly visible spielfeldbegrenzenden edge reinforcement at those 4 of the total 12 edges of the cube, where not bright on dark fields (but same color fields on each other) meet.
• - Allowing 2 of the 3 teams of one color at the beginning of the game to be positioned back to back on an edge without edge reinforcement, and to position the 3rd team of a color with their backs against an edge reinforcement reinforcing the playing field. The term back of a chess team at the beginning of the game is intended here to identify the respective baseline.
• - In summary, therefore, a major advantage of the invention is that hereby 4 players can simultaneously play chess against each other across the field, • the free orientation of the gimbal facilitates the overview, • prevents the construction of the 4 edge reinforcements both non-consistent edge-crossing check pattern with broken diagonal also provides the edge of the field for the formation of each 3rd team of a color, • can be offered by the possibility of installation back-to-back and back-to-edge a classic chess game similarly protected setting frame at the beginning of the game.
