You'll soon get the ZOG file available, so that you could figure out what it's all about. In some loose sense, the game would have a fractal dimension, not an integer one ! The second board does have 4x4 squares, each pointing to 4 sub-squares on the other board. Does this make it a 4D like game ? As you pointed out, it's not Alice Chess related as you're not compelled to switch to the other board. I just wanted to allow larger movement on the larger board to be mapped to the smaller scale board. I will consider the games you listed (sphinx, hyperchess,...) with attention. You'll be perhaps interested by my 8x8x8 'cross3D chess' game, and the mapped version on two boards which I called 'mapped chess'.
