Normal chess is 2 dimensions, plus you have time dimension (3D), plus you have parallel timelines - that always go just one dimension
So it's 4D and not 5D?
edit: yeah it's actually "just" 4D, from the explainer here

- 87zuhjkas 6y agoIt depends in real life you always have a 3D chess board (+ time dimension) and in some chess UIs you have the option to get a 3D board rendered, like in chessbase https://de.chessbase.com/Portals/All/2017/_eng/products/fritz16-18b-3dboard.jpg https://de.chessbase.com/Portals/All/2017/_eng/products/frit...
- einr 6y agoBut you actually only play the game in two dimensions, because the pieces cannot move up or down. Normal chess is a game happening on a 2D plane whether or not the representation of the board and pieces is 2D or 3D.
- 87zuhjkas 6y agoNo, because that again depends on the representation. You can store the information of moves and chess position in 1D. As for example, two players can play a game of chess just by exchanging moves via morse code.
- nigerian1981 6y agoThey say the a 3rd dimension is unused so yeah I don’t understand why they didn’t just call it 4D chess.
