[ExI] Posthumanist Games ... Structure of Chess (2D to 3D , 4D , 5D or 'N' Dimension)

[G P SINGH]

When we have adversarial system of game like 2D Chess where only two  
players compete for checkmate. So if there is rise of players to 8 or  
32 then what changes would be there in the structure of game so that  
each player play game independent of each other. Is there any  
possibility to change dimensions of game of chess. Can it be done to  
3D, 4D , 5D or 'n'D .

I have never seen any kind of discussion on futurist game which  
changes the rule of the game. Chess is basically individualistic game  
where single person compete against another. In contrast football is a  
team game where aim of the team is to cooperatively perform so that  
opponent team's cooperative performance will be lesser.

Here i am not making  chess as a form of football or social game. Main  
problem here is that How cognitive intensive games can be played by  
many players. Can it be done by changing their structure like my idea  
of changing the dimension and change game rules accordingly.
