The concept behind the Terrestrial Chess Board is revolutionary. For hundreds of years, the game of chess has been played on a flat surface. The sixty four squares that made up a chess board were benign. The mind always observed the board as a background, flat and two dimensional. Now, with the introduction of the Terrestrial Chess Board, the playing surface is no longer flat. The board actually changes its topographic configuration with each new game. While playing on a Terrestrial Chess Board, the mind merges with, and engages with, not only the pieces and their moves but with the playing surface of the board itself. The mind no longer just observes the board. It actually interacts with the board to create a new, unique synergistic engagement. Each play of a piece and its subsequent engagement with the other pieces, is transformed into a four dimensional nexus, similar to actual events in our macroscopic world whose roots are intertwined with quantum actions.

          The rules of chess remain but the play of the game becomes altered. When a chess piece moves into its opponent’s territory, it is met by an environment different than its own. It may encounter low level plains surrounded by high plateaus or highlands that precipitously drop off into valleys.

          The mind still works out the strategy of the next move or moves, but it now incorporates the changes in contour of its opponent’s territory into the strategy.  The result is a new level of play to one of the oldest and most played games in the world. Just try it once and you will experience the difference.

          Chess boards and chess pieces have become works of art. It is extraordinary how many different designs there are to the pieces and the flat boards. The materials that make up the pieces and boards range from plastic to exotic woods, from marble to platinum. Simply put, chess boards and pieces are beautiful. When you look at a Terrestrial Chess Board, you see an added beauty due to the depth, contour, and changeability of its surface. With the creation of the Terrestrial Board, a new form of art has emerged. There is no limit to the possible designs of the chess board squares or to the materials that make up the squares and the boards. Life itself has come to the board.
