Dragonchess is a three-dimensional fantasy chess variant created by Gary Gygax, the co-creator of the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. The game was introduced in 1985 in issue number 100 of Dragon Magazine. The lead of the source article is a single short paragraph, so this description states only what it supports: a fantasy variant of chess played in three dimensions, designed by a co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, and first presented in a gaming magazine.
