Hi Allan, On Star Trek the original series the three level chess set used all the standard chess pieces, but the game had three levels and slightly different rules. On Star Trek Next generation I know that Data usually used the standard chess set we all know but it seams to me he once played the three level set. It's been quite a while since I could see so I am starting to forget details such as that now. As far as the monster idea it doesn't necessarily have to be chess. There are spin off games such as futile that have a cool chess-like concept, but allows for different kinds of strategies.
