I want to try this game without making/buying a board and it is easier to learn to play when the computer can prevent invalid moves. Does any software, preferably freeware, exist which simulates this flavor of chess?

From wikipedia:

There is software for playing Tri-D Chess; Parmen is a Windows application written by Doug Keenan and available free on his website.

Here are some of the external links for (software) Raumschach and Tri-D chess:

http://www.parmen.com/

There is a version available for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=awfsoft.app.TriDChess

  • Parmen keeps crashing. Cosmic chess site is no longer active. The domain is for sale.
